I believe the splash screen shouldn't be shown when Emacs is started
with files on the command line. I sometimes do that when editing
some configuration files as root. (Emacs is configured `--with-x'.)

You can put something like (when (> (safe-length command-line-args) 1) (setq inhibit-startup-message t)) in your .emacs Kind regards, -- Arne Jørgensen <http://arnested.dk/> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I can't find a discussion that led to showing the splash screen even if Emacs is started with a non-empty command line. Could someone repeat what were the reasons for this change? It seems it makes sense to show the splash screen only for beginners who start Emacs for the first time, without options on the command line. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I made this decision to make sure that people who generally run Emacs with file name arguments do see the splash screen. That is important for us. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
