I can't to change portable SplashScreen with image PortableGIMP.jpg. File ''PortableGIMP.ini'' parameters is is:
[PortableGIMP]
GIMPDirectory=gimp\bin
GTKDirectory=gtk\gin
SettingsDirectory=settings
AdditionalParameters=
WaitForGIMP=false
GIMPExecutable=gimp-2.2.exe
DisableSplashScreen=true
# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt
what is wrong?
You have to recompile the launcher. It's not designed to support other splash images. Just the internal one.
John, if you don't already have one, you should put a note in the readme that PortableX.jpg is only part of the source for the launcher, and that modifying it won't magically cause the launcher to use the new version. I'm getting tired of people asking this same question. I think we all are.

That would "magically" make all our problems better

I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but it would help tremendously, I'm sure.

we could always change the source so that it did read the JPG there couldn't we, I might be wrong though I haven't looked.

No, I think whatever file you tell NewAdvSplash to load (you do give it a filename) automatically gets compiled in by NSIS. Not much you can do to change that.

but I think NewAdvSplash copies it to the $TEMP directory. If we could some how "slot it in" to the $TEMP directory half way through, we would be right.

It uses a single splash screen. GIMP Portable 2.2.12 Pre-Release
It's good! thank you John T. Haller!
is there anyway to remove GIMP slpash screen. the .ini file does not offer the option to disable splash screen.
thanx matt
That's because the splash screen is a part of GIMP itself, I've just altered it for the portable version so folks come here first for support if there's an issue with it being portable. I don't know if you can disable GIMP's splash. You'll need to look around.
is there any chance that in the upcoming versions there will be that option give to the users. i mean i really appreciate your work and you do deserve a credit but on the other hand i would like to (and i think many people would share the same opinion with me)be able to disable it and make it look like regular gimp.
thanx,
matt
EDIT: never mind, i researched it a bit and i've changed the splash screen to the original one by simply replacing the .png image.
1. go to gimp/2.0/images/ (replace gimp-splash.png with any other one of your choice)
You can make it look like whatever you want. You had asked if you could disable it. I don't think you can (which is odd). If you'd asked to change it, I would have said:
You can change it back within:
GIMPPortable\App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\images
Just rename gimp-splash.png to gimp-splash-portableapps.png and then gimp-splash-original.png to gimp-splash.png.
I left the original there in case someone wanted to change it back.
eh yeah sometimes i don't how to ask questions right... and yeah i've noticed the original one and i used it. i appreciate.

You should add that bit of info to the support page. It drove me crazy for a while.
The support page is really for frequently asked questions. Since I switched to using GIMP's internal splash (modified), this has only been asked like 3 times out of 200,000 downloads. Heck, you're resurrecting a 2month old topic right now. That's REALLY far away from frequent.
couldnt u just add a new jpeg useing 7zip ? and but crc has to be turned off.
