Delayed startup

It is possible to start Libretto with a delay. This can be useful if other devices or services connected to the same computer are slow to start. Delaying Libretto’s startup means that Libretto will start, but delay initialization of devices and connections for a configured period of time.

To set the delay, modify the Libretto startup shortcut’s properties in Windows, adding the following command parameter:

 -delay:xx

Where xx is the desired number of seconds to delay the startup.

Note: in Windows 7 machines, it may be necessary to create a new shortcut as the default one can not always be modified. To do this, right-click on the desktop and select New -> Shortcut:
