I want all my output files to go in c:\images.  I have been scouring help for how to
do this, but nothing in there helps at all.

Never mind

I found it
Just put

Output_File_Name=C:\images\

into POVRAY.ini

I request that the output directory be made a menu option, including the POVRAY.ini
and PVEngine.ini files

Requests can't be made here in the beta group, sorry.

I don't understand what you said about including the povray and pvengine ini
files.
Ability to create a directory for images could be added to the Tools menu
which could also append the necessary line into Povray.ini but it's not all
that complex a thing to just edit the Povray.ini instead.  It's a one-time
event, typically anyhow.

Actually you have to add

[Permitted Output Paths]
1=%INSTALLDIR%\Renderer\ReRun
2=%INSTALLDIR%\Insert Menu
3=C:\Images


the "3=" line had to be added to pvengine.ini

and

Output_File_Name=C:\images\

had to be added to povray.ini.


All I am asking is that there be an option in the menus that set these 
options from a dialog box.
