Comment 3 for bug 906788

Dear Vema,
do I understand correctly that you could not load images through the proxy before but now you can, meaning the proxy settings worked for you (except for the startup issue)?
I just thought about how to solve the startup problem. Asking the user every time is not good since most people do not need this setting and may find it annoying. Asking once is also not a good solution, since the user might be in a network without proxy at first but then relocates to a network with proxy (eg from home to work/university).
For now the best thing I came up with was to allow JHelioviewer to start even when no libraries are loaded. Of course JHelioviewer will not work, but at least you can go to the Options->Preferences dialog, set the proxy and then restart JHelioviewer. I added an appropriate error message which tells the user what to do in case no libraries could be loaded.
I uploaded a Windows binary to

What do you think? Is this a satisfactory solution? Does it work at all for you?

Best regards,
Andre
