Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2021-08-25 12:50:30 UTC

SUMMARY
When opening a large archive in Ark, the main window opens with "Welcome to Ark" offering to create a new archive or open one, while it's actually in the process of loading an archive.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a large archive with Ark

OBSERVED RESULT
Welcome screen with small "loading archive" progress bar

EXPECTED RESULT
No welcome screen or a different welcome screen with a large progress bar or something

Hide welcome screen as soon as we know we're loading a file

It's confusing to still see the welcome screen with the buttons to
open/create new files while one is being loaded
