Compliments and a Suggestion

[mgomgo]

-New columns feature: &nbsp;cool!<br><br>-Supercompact RTF feature: &nbsp;Excellent! &nbsp;I have been able to reduce the sizes of some seriously bloated Wordpad docs by about 1/3 with no loss of graphics quality!<br><br>-One suggestion: &nbsp;I know you are proud of your product (as you should be!), but how about a registry hack to stop the splash screens when we install a newer version? &nbsp;Including the .cod splash screens, too! &nbsp;Going in and adding "-nosplash" in the registry is a hassle sometimes!<br><br>I can see where the splash screen on the freeware version would help encourage folks to purchase the program. &nbsp;But if we already bought the license, it seems to me we could have an option on install to not load the splash screen.<br><br>Thanks!<br>-michael goodrich<br>Tucson, Az &nbsp;USA<br><br>

been discussed before, just add 'no splash' to your shortcut like this<br><br>"C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash"<br><br>in Target (properties of your Atlantis shortcut)<br><br>V

<br>been discussed before, just add 'no splash' to your shortcut like this<br><br>"C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash"<br><br>in Target (properties of your Atlantis shortcut)<br><br>V<br>

<br><br>I just tried that, so that my shortcut Target read like this:<br>"C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash"<br>and when I try, I get this error message: " The name 'C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and filename are correct." <br>Both the path and the filename are correct - any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Try after exe"There must be a space and then -NoSplash otherwise it will not work

<br>Try after exe"There must be a space and then -NoSplash otherwise it will not work<br>

<br><br>If you look at the line I pasted, you will see that there already is a space between exe and -NoSplash<br><br>As it turns out, the line should look like this:<br>"C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe" -NoSplash<br>which is what your reply to my question suggested, but was NOT how you phrased it in your inital post, I quote:<br>"C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash"<br>That misplaced " in your initial post was the problem.  :D

This is how mine is."C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe" -NoSplash<br>

Right.<br>The complete info regarding this topic is here (Atlantis Tips & Trics).

<br>

<br>This is how mine is."C:\Program Files\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe" -NoSplash<br><br>

<br><br>Yes, that's right, but if you look at your initial reply to mgomgo, you will se that that is NOT what you put. Instead, you put,

"C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash"

[admin]

Of course. By the way, quotes are not necessary in this case at all:<br><br>This should work too<br>C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe -NoSplash<br>because<br>C:\Programs\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe<br>is not a "long filename".

[1953]

<br><br><br>Yes, that's right, but if you look at your initial reply to mgomgo, you will se that that is NOT what you put. Instead, you put, <br><br>

<br>Max I think you have got me mixed up with Van.

;D My trick, is usually my mouth works 5 seconds before my brain... I was worried to log back on to the forum just in case I made the mistake, and you was going to tell me off again Max. ;D

Atlantis Ocean Mind 1.1.2.5 has a new option: “Show splash screen at startup” (“Tools | Options…”, “General”). This new option allows to disable the splash screen in a much simpler way.
