Dear All,
Is there an up-to-date command line version of POV-Ray available,
(executable for MS Windows)?
The GUI seems to have the queue limited to 300 entries.
I do not want to call the GUI with the command line
parameters for thousands of frames.
Thanks,
Maciej

There is no such official version, only unofficial versions, but those are
not compiled with state-of-the-art compilers like the official Windows
version. But you can call the official Windows version via the command-line
just fine.

If you are rendering an animation, what is preventing you from using "clock"
like everybody else does?

You can call GUI version from command line. In case you do not want splash
screen you can google for QuietPOV.

I do not remember such limitation but who knows...

I do not understand above sentence. In 300 entries do you mean 300 frames of
one animation ? Then you can render it at once as 1 entry using animation
options.
If you see any language problems feel free to ask in Polish in
povray.international using [pl] at subject begining.

Where can I get unofficial versions? :-)

AFAIK "clock" is just a variable with subsequent values...
In my case, every frame is quite different and produced
by an external program.

ps. I'd call GUI if it only had a switch "do not start GUI" :-)

You can use one file to boundle all 300 frames into one:
//begin file
#include concat("frame",str(frame_number,0,0),".inc")
//end file

Look into manual for details about your wishes, there is platform dedicated
chapter number one.

I just checked:
1. Windows limits selecting multiple files in the
"Open" system dialog
2. POV-Ray limits the queue to 512 entries.

Not everybody uses clock!

Yes, that is true, this IS a workaround and it is
different from calling a command-line program
that everybody is used to do :-)

AFAICT, that is not documented or possible.

Indeed, I see it,
#define MAX_QUEUE 512
in pvguiext.h.
So you can recompile it for your needs with highier MAX_QUEUE setting.
