I can see your point, but I still think that everything *should* be
optionally set from within the scene file. I mostly used ini_option to
specify image size, and from an artistic point of view, the image size and
aspect ratio are often intrinsic to the desired final image, and IMO *are*
part of the scene description (coming from the point of view previously
stated, that I like scene files to be self-contained. You press RUN, and you
get the image as I designed it).

In any other 3D package, you save a scene, you save everything, including
all output options. Why should POV prevent this option?

That's good news.

All the best,
