[Bf-committers] Installation and/or splash screen

[Stefan Gartner]

Hi,

as far as i know the splash screen should only appear if your ~/.B.blend file 
doesn't exist (or is very old).

Assuming you're on OS X, are you moving the entire application bundle or only 
the executable itself? By default blender looks for the international files 
in ~/.blender and inside its app bundle. If you've only moved the executable, 
it most likely is unable to locate the bundle. Another reason might be that 
you're using a custom font for the ui which blender cannot find after moving 
(especially if you've specified a relative path to the font). Are there any 
unusual messages in console.log which might help figuring out what's going 
on?
