Hi,

I was rendering a scene with a huge amount of photons and ran out of space
on my C: drive at the end of the photon shooting stage and POV-Ray couldn't
save the photons to a file. POV-Ray and the Windows swapfile are on drive D:
so I wounder why drive C: ran out of space?
The photon file was to be writen in the POV directory on D: and there was
also plenty of swap space there. Does POV-Ray use a temporary working
directory under Windows (eg. c:\Windows\Temp\)?  If it does, how can I
change the directory to D:? I couldn't find anything from the help files
about this.
