AAAA thank you very much for the detail explanation! I didn't
understand properly the outsuffix option and change/remove it without
success. You should simply add in the main recipe something like
that?:

# To have multiple psplash append with:
# FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
# SPLASH_IMAGES = "file://splash-file-one.h;outsuffix=one \
#                           file://splash-file-two.h;outsuffix=two"

Will try your solution

thx,
