Slow Opening IDE

Hi Peter,

i noticed such behaviour also in the past. In my case it was the combination of my Antivirus Software from Intego and a really big Livecode logfile
~/Library/Logs/RunRev/LiveCodeToolsLog.txt

Along with the files from /Applications/LiveCode X.X.X, there was a huge amount of scans from my Antivirus Real-Time Scanner on this single file during the opening of LiveCode applications:

Solution: I´ve excluded that file in my AV settings  from realtime scanning and deleted that file.

Maybe this is cause also on your system, if you have AV software running. 

The problem is, this file is increasing its size with every start of Livecode. My current file is now 32MB.

I´ve already reported this to the bugbase in May 2016  and it was confirmed. 
bug 17748 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17748>

Regards,
Matthias
