#125 XCA appears to not open at all if there is an entry in dbhistory it can't find
Today I went to open XCA and it appeared to not open at all. (Windows, XCA 2.0.1)
After a reinstallation attempt and it still not working I noticed it was trying to look for a database on a network share that wasn't fully mounted, and had trouble doing so. Deleting my local "dbhistory" file resolved this.
A design change should be made to make this issue more obvious to the user though. Loading the historic databases asynchronously or after the main window appears would be more ideal. There was no obvious reason for a historic database to be the cause of the program appearing to completely not work, I just happen to think of that reason.
