How to speed up HippoEDIT start

We are taking care to keep HippoEDIT start-up performance as fast as possible. But there are ways to speed up it even more if you agree to disable some features you may not use. The flow is following:

  • update HippoEDIT to latest version
  • disable all plugins you do not need (for example File Explorer, Project Explorer, Bookmark Manager, scripting plugins etc.)
  • disable syntaxes you do not need
  • disable performance critical features you do not need, such as: restoring of the last search results, restoring of the Undo history for edited files, restoring Clipboard content etc.
  • do not restore last open files: Tools→Options→General→Actions→At Startup → Open New File etc
  • check on wiki by tag “performance” which other features influence HippoEDIT speed
