load a picture before application

i.te's icon

I want to load a picture before the app. comes up. the problem is that i`cant find the way to close the picture patch after loading the app. No way to find a "close" msg for this patcher.

thx a lot!!

"wclose" message to thispatcher closes the window.

ok thanks, but i made a small patch with the picture and this patch contains a subpatch with the app. if i use the wclose msg in the patch this msg will also close the app.
sure i
