Summary	0006280: Include basic debug information in Non-debug installs
Description	It would help support efforts if the non-debug version of MediaMonkey included some basic debug information so that we can more quickly solve 'failed startup' issues. Namely: -Plugins / Scripts loaded -Scripts that fail to load -More info when MM freezes at the splash screen I'm not sure if this is possible, but these issues occur often enough, that it would be helpful.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

Also it proves that something like this feature (Firefox for example call it session managing) will give us more info on what happen. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=261867#p261867

jiri 2010-08-09 22:23 administrator ~0020436	I don't think we need anything general here. Some individual features might be considered, e.g. some prevention of d_iPhone.dll loading in case the previous MM start up failed? It doesn't seem to be too important though...

peke 2010-08-11 22:31 developer ~0020445	I'm not sure that this should be handled per plugin as it will be more dev time to filter all needed plugins to include it than make it globally. Mockup I proposed should be easy to implement as we already send those messages to debug log. Most of apps uses that approach like Photoshop, and Delphi 2010. Additionally it serves double feature which give users loading progress of MediaMonkey (Similar to one used in Delphi 2010)
