I know this is a talked about before question.
I downloaded the NSIS compiler and plugins. I changed the:
\GIMPPortable\Other\GIMPPortableSource\GimpPortable.ini to have the line ->
DisableSplashScreen=true
I opened and compiled \GIMPPortable\Other\GIMPPortableSource\GimpPortable.nsi
moved GimpPortable.exe to \GIMPPortable\
The splash screen still comes up.
What am I doing wrong?
Sorry for the same question...

GIMP has its *OWN* built in splash screen. The launcher has nothing to do with it. This is why there's no mention of a DisableSplashScreen setting... there isn't one. The launcher doesn't show a splash... so there shouldn't be an option to disable it.
Search google for info on GIMP's splash. The original GIMP splash is also included in the portable package if you wish to use the standard GIMP splash instead of the PA custom one. (GIMP has a splash for a reason... because it is quite slow to start up when querying plugins and fonts)

How do I change it back to use Gimp Splash Screen!
thanks
reinstall it.
And btw you dont have to recompile the launcher just to disable the launcher splash screen. Its enough if you change the ini file and out the ini file into the main app folder...

Head to:
GIMPPortable\App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\images
gimp-splash.png is the current one. gimp-splash-original.png is the original one.

Sorry what if I want a different splash screen, edit code .nsi file right?
thanks
The launcher does NOT have a splash screen. GIMP does. I just told you how to change GIMP's splash. Just change that PNG. For additional details on acceptable sizes, etc, check Google.

Sorry working and screwing around does not mix. I like pidgin, and wanted to change the splash screen. I see the splash image in source folder. So just change the source to point to another image and recompile. Right???
thanks
Yes
Would this be easy on Linux or MacOSX.
I know Linux stores most app data in config files.
I am a Linux freak? This would come in hand. I constantly work on Gimp files back and forth between win and lin.
Thanks in advance
thanks
I know this post is old but I came here when searching for a solution.
On the "GIMPPortable.ini" file, instead of using "DisableSplashScreen=true", use "AdditionalParameters=-s". For GIMP, -s loads without showing the splash screen.
Ruja, thank you very much for sharing this information with us!
