โSplash Screen
The splash screen is shown at program startup and contains SynthEyes version and licensing data. It also contains buttons equivalent to File/New, File/Open, and File/Import, which should be pretty obvious. It also has buttons for the most-recently-used files from the bottom of the File menu.
macOS/Linux: If the most-recently-used files contain more than one non-Latin-based character (for example Japanese, Russian, or Thai), then the Splash screen will down-rate from OpenGL to operating-system drawn, to be able to show the file names. The screen will not animate in this circumstance due to low refresh rate.
Tip : You can clear the most-recently- used file lists with the Synthia command โ clear the sceneโs mru files โ (or exports or scripts, for that matter).
Tip : You can adjust the number of most-recently-used files that SynthEyes keeps via the MRU Files preferences in the File/Open section.
The splash screen has two keyboard actions: show/donโt show the button overlays via the enter key, and start/stop via the space key. You can get back to the splash screen at any time from the view-select tab at top-left of any viewport.
Tip : You can be a BOSS and Bring your Own Splash Screen. Just put some
.jpg images in the Custom Splash folder in File/User Data Folder, or in a Custom Splash folder in the SynthEyes install for facility-wide splash screen. They must all have the same size! Note that this is intended for a few high-resolution (4K, ~3840x2160) images, not your whole photo library.
We wonโt judge you on how long you spend daydreaming at the waves.
