Special Files Tab

Here you can specify which files will be used for special purposes in your publication.

Splash Screen File

The Splash Screen file will be shown when the Ebook opens, before the Home Page appears. Click the Browse button to select the file to use as Splash Screen.
Files with .gif, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg (pictures y .avi (video) are supported.

The file should always be located in the Publication Main Folder and because that when you click the browse button you will only see the files located out there.

If the desired file doesn't appear in the file list simply copy or move it from its actual location to the Publication Main Folder. Learn More.

When selecting image files you can select how many milliseconds the image will stay on the screen.
If you write 0 milliseconds the splash screen will remain visible until the user clicks on the image or presses any key.
AVI files
The splash screen will be closed automatically when the video ends or the user clicks on the image or presses any key. Write 0 milliseconds as delay to avoid closing the Splash Screen automatically when the video ends.

After selecting the file, the file name will appear in text area immediately below the Browse button.

If Show Splash Screen maximized isn't selected, the Splash Window will have exactly the same size than the image or video that it shows and will be centered in the middle of the monitor screen, otherwise, the Splash Screen will fill the entire screen with the color selected as background color, using the Back Color button. The video or image shown always will be displayed with its original size.
