Hi!

3.6 beta: if I use the +L switch at the command line
(example: pvengine.exe +Lc:\scene\test .....)
it is ignored?

The exactly same command line works with Povray 3.5.

Well, does POV-Ray list it in the render options?  Or does it issue an error
or warning?

You should try entering the +Lxx in the command line field and not when 
starting POV-Ray.  Also make sure you quote when there are spaces in the 
path name.  And please post a full report, see:

Hi again!

A more detailed description:
I created a minimum scene file "test.pov" which can be used to reproduce the
problem.
"test.pov" uses a texture map "test.bmp" located in a separate directory,
which is specified using the +L option.
I also included the exact command line and the output of pvengine for both
3.5 and 3.6b1 (see below).
You will find a zip-file of my test directory in the
povray.beta-test.binaries group.

System:
---------
Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP Prof, Pentium M 1.7GHz,  1024 MB DDR-SDRAM)

------------

c:\Test\textures\test.bmp

}

All right, seems a platform-specific problem, could you try entering

"-ic:\test\test.pov +Lc:\test\textures"

in the command line field of the running editor instead of when starting 
POV-Ray?

it works when I use the command line field

I will also try to reproduce the problem on WinNT and Win 2000 Server,
perhaps this way we can isolate the problem

I tried this with one of my files and it works if the file path is used
without the switch, not with (quoted or not).

Library path is not added when using Windows' command prompt. Does okay in
POV's command-line field box.

Windows XP HE
