Lily/Skins - Add option to not pause blocks while waiting for a skin to load
Opened this issue · 3 comments
This is something I'm going to work on if I have the time.
Right now each loading block in Skins will pause until it's finished loading the skin. That's fine in circumstances where someone new to the extension might be confused why their blocks don't work, but in advanced cases where loading several skins in (sometimes hundreds) is necessary, the waiting can add up
As I understand it, there's no performance reason why it would need to wait.
My current plan is to add a block that'll enable/disable the "waiting", but I'm not settled on it yet.
Or an and wait dropdown?

can I do it
Skins could be loaded concurrently (e.g. in a web worker) to avoid lag (if that's possible), but creators could also use loading screens so users don't notice.
