Thanks. I'm glad I can help.

You're right. I often use this template from an old project but  
indeed, I should have optimized it since. Looking at it again, the  
'100' argument should be removed from [filepath] so paths are not  
saved in Max's preferences on quit. It's not a big problem but I guess  
people don't want their preferences to be changed by my patch.

The reason I send the 'dispose' message from the main patch is only  
cosmetic. As I use the launcher patch as a pseudo appsplash, I like  
seeing it going away only when the main patch is ready and fully  
initialized. Adding a slider in the launcher showing the progress of  
the main patch initialization is also rather neat. :-)

Best,
Julien.
