LNG_LOADING_ZOOM_NOT_FOUND on 1.36

[Thomas]

I tried to reply to the original "LNG_LOADING_ZOOM_NOT_FOUND" topic but I can't.

On the latest version (1.36) I am getting the error message "LNG_LOADING_ZOOM_NOT_FOUND" over the loading bar when I reload the webpage or megazine instance. It appears to be happening on the demo as well (I've attached an image). Since I'm using multiple xml files for different books that share covers, it appears each time I load a different book. I assume it has something to do with the cached image.

That's not really a bug... it's actually more of a feature

Seriously. The reason is this: the language file is not loaded at the time you see that text, because the engine starts loading the images at the same time. Reason for this should be obvious: displaying the images as fast as possible, as that's what the user wants to see. And depending on how many languages you supply, loading those can result in a visible delay... so I'm not really planning on changing this in the near future. If there are enough petitioners I'll reconsider my position, though

[keeping this open for this purpose - if anyone thinks it'd be better to keep the user waiting until all language stuff is loaded before showing him the images, post here]

I think the best would be to add an option to hide the NOT_FOUND text.

Personally I don't think anyone would want to have the those NOT_LOAD placeholder text inserted unless they were using it to troubleshoot their language files.

In this specific case, I'd much rather have a loading bar with no error text (since a loading bar by itself is univeral symbol) vs LNG_LOADING_ZOOM_NOT_FOUND overlaying the bar which is more confusing as technically nothing is wrong in this case as you mentioned other than the fact that the lang XML is being loaded after the image.
