So it seems "data-cycle-loader" isn't working.

I am unable yet to deduce why, but at a pure stab in the dark I am currently surmising that it isn't compatible with "data-cycle-slides".

Bumping the priority of this a little because although because although it still technically works with loader disabled performance is hideous and very jarring for user experience.

Think we've addressed this / Ben will chime in shortly.

Just applied a patch for this. The setting is available through the "Action Advanced Options" (same location as the similar functionality in Cycle 1), with None mapping to false, Wait mapping to wait (obv), and Quick mapping to true per http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/demo/loader.php

Great stuff, unfortunately it still seems to suffer from the same issue as when I patched it myself, that is that the slideshow never actually starts with the loader enabled.

Or perhaps more correctly ".views-slideshow-cycle2-main-frame" never has any slides added to it.

After some testing outside of Drupal today I think this is a bug or documentation issue with the Cycle2 library: if the last slide doesn't have an image in it, the loader won't work.
