Faster Application Startup

This is probably not really a tip for power users, but for new users it could be useful.

Version: Any

 
 


You can bypass the startup splash screen after launching FreeHand, which speeds up the launching process.

As soon as you see the splash screen appear, hit any key or press the mouse button. This will skip the splash screen and go right into the application.

Not every program works this way however, but ever since I can remember FreeHand has worked this way.
