<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I just made available for macOS and Linux the toolboxes
stixbox depends upon for macOS (distfun and linalg) and my
remark is that when a lot of modules are loaded at startup
then the output can become very long and sometimes messy,
since we don't impose a normalized output:<br>
</p>
<p><b>Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)</b><b><br>
</b></p>
<p><b>Start Distfun</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Helptbx</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Specfun</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Makematrix</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Apifun</b><b><br>
</b><b> Load macros</b><b><br>
</b><b> Type "help apifun_overview" for a quick start.</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Linalg</b><b><br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>Start Stixbox</b><br>
<br>
I would rather expect something like:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><b>Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)</b><b><br>
</b></p>
<p><b>Start modules: Distfun, Helptbx, Specfun, Makematrix,
Apifun, Linalg, Stixbox.</b></p>
<p><b>--> </b><br>
</p>
<p>The verbosity level of the output (with the above default)
could be defined in user preferences, and checked in module
startup script in order to output the required amount of
information.</p>
<p>That's just a propostion to be discussed, of course.<br>
</p>

<p>Such a wish was reported 10 years ago as <a

<br>
To me, the only way to overcome any mprintf or disp made in
*.start files of external modules would be to become able to
redirect the standard output to null (or anywhere else as in a
file, as with diary, that forks the stream instead of
redirecting it).<br>
I don't think that %toolboxes aims to become public.
atomsGetInstalled() and atomsGetLoaded() (and others) would
likely be more suited to test the atoms status.</p>
For contribution,<br>

<p>Yeah that's the idea. But better than redirection of the standard
output, all the stuff displayed in the .start file should go in a
Journal, to which display methods can be associated. So instead of
explicitely calling disp or mprinf, etc. the .start script should
just add some stuff + associated verbosity level to the journal.
What would be actually really displayed will depend on the level
of the used Journal. That's the way the output is controlled in
Ipopt, for example (but at the C++ level).<br>
