in short is there a way to add a delay so that a screen thats set to preload on start has say a 5 or 10 second wait.

at the moment I just have my audio page preloading, but i want to add a gps program so it can track and log all the time, without having to manually start it.

as its not a high priority and also the gps takes another min to start up and get sats at times anyway, no point having it in the initial program start, as that will just slow down RR's start up.

Use the STARTCOMMAND in RR to start your GPS software. No need to preload the skin.
When RR loads it will start your app in the background.

I actually want to stagger the loading of other apps, untill my core RR setup has finished.

additionally I have some other mad ideas im thinking about too where a delay or timed start would be handy to make sure other things needed have finished loading, before what i want to run.

You can use a timer and a variable to execute a command after a few seconds, but that would depend on which screen you're on, so you'd be better off using a RUNQ on your start command...

Something like this in the start command:
RUNQ;c:\delaystart.bat

then have this in delaystart.bat:
c:\delay.exe 5000
c:\mygps\mygps.exe
c:\myapp\myapp.exe
...

The delay command/application is a freeware you can download here:

This basically just launches the prompt on the background and waits 5 seconds before it starts loading all the "heavy" stuff.

I'll try that guino thanks...

should this cause any issues that anyone knows of, if an embedded app is started in the background?

I know i could just try it, but im renovating at home, and "play time" is very reduced

Should be no problems, RR first looks to see if app is already running(by win name) and if not starts it and embeds it, otherwise it just embeds the already open app.
