[new]advsplash show png image

[hanen.jomaa]

Hi,

when I launch my setup.exe a .bmp image was loaded. I use InitPluginsDir and the plugin advsplash::show to have it.

Now I have to replace the image by another one with the extension .png, it did not appear, even thow I used the plugin newadvsplash::show.

How can I let it show ?

please can you help me.

Can you point to any documentation that says png files are supported?

@hanen I assume the png is found on target system or downloaded; otherwise there is no problem since your installer can supply a bmp instead.
As a workaround you can convert the image. IrfanView comes to mind as a good choice - it can be used as a standalone exe in command line mode and is relatively lightweight (~600KB compared to e.g. ImageMagick whose convert.exe is 12MB). Working example:
ExecWait '"$PLUGINSDIR\i_view32.exe" $\"$PLUGINSDIR\image.png$\" /convert=$\"$PLUGINSDIR\image.bmp$\" /silent'

Because just using Paint on his machine and save as bmp is too easy? I assume he/she wants transparency and then the only choice when using this plugin is gif...

Sometimes I read too fast, I didn't register the fact that newadvsplash is used so I didn't come to conclusion about transparency. I was obviously talking about conversion on target system, not his/her machine.
