Any idea how using only Post_Frame/Scene_Command and other ini settings remove
number from image name after rendering ?

I have special ini file created for one image/frame. I call it for original
animation source code with apropriate settings:

// INI FILE
bonus.pov 
+FS +A0.1 +AM2 -J +R3 -D +KFI1 +KFF78 +SF10 +EF10 +W144 +H108 
Output_File_Name="70 - 'functions.inc'\10 - internal functions\bonus" 
Post_Frame_Command=cmd.exe /q /c "ren 70 - 'functions.inc'\10 - internal
functions\bonus10.bmp 70 - 'functions.inc'\10 - internal functions\f_comma().bmp" 
// END OF INI FILE

I suppose the problem is in spaces in folder names but I can't use " becouse
there is already one for cmd. I can't also remove cmd becouse ren won't work
then. Any idea ?

ABX

Do it like this:

Turn of animation rendering.

In your scene change every "clock" to "Clock".

In an ini file or on the command line declare "Clock" to have your "clock"
value.

=> No more struggling with the command line ;-)

Thanks, that was obvious but I forgot to mention that I can't change scene :-(
I use i_internal.pov sample file to prepare insert menu bonus pack images
(http://www.abx.art.pl/pov/bonus) with queue.

I would write:
Post_Frame_Command=cmd.exe /q /c ren "70 - 'functions.inc'\10 - internal
functions\bonus10.bmp" "70 - 'functions.inc'\10 - internal
functions\f_comma().bmp"

instead. I am not sure cmd.exe needs to quote the command, it takes
everything after the options as its command.
Or so I think, I haven't tested this. :-P

IIRC I tried such version and it refused to execute somehow. I don't remember
details becouse I tried so many version. Finally with help of Vahur Krouverk
(in povray.off-topic) I found solution ready for long names and broken
renderings:

Pre_Frame_Command=cmd.exe /q /c "for %%d in (70-'FU~1.INC\10-INT~1\bonus*.bmp
  70-'FU~1.INC\10-INT~1\f_kummer_surface_v1*.bmp) do del %%d" 
Post_Frame_Command=cmd.exe /q /c "move 70-'FU~1.INC\10-INT~1\bonus*.bmp 
  70-'FU~1.INC\10-INT~1\f_kummer_surface_v1().bmp" 

I hope it will work under win95/98 (except command instead cmd).
