well, after i show the splash screen with the loading icon, there is a LOT of processing going on like loading plugins, certain interfaces, lots of initialization and other things..due to which the loading icon doesnt animate at all..after i put a number of processEvents() around, it did start to move intermittently..but still its not smooth..i cant show the splash screen in another thread also cuz of gui operations..i dont see any other options to show the animations on it..could u suggest anth..i cant use a QEventLoop either..doesnt make any sense..until this QMovie doesnt get its own seperate running event loop, i dont think it'll work..any directions would be helpful

Thanks
