Hi,

Problems with "Post_Frame_Command=" on Slackware Linux, Povray 3.6.
The command I'm running is: povray myfile.ini

I have tried various Post_Frame_Commands - see below for my .ini file.
Not one of them works. No errors, nothing!

But when I add Post_Frame_Return=F to the .ini file I get:
0:00:01 Performing post-frame shell-out command
Shutdown Warning: Shellout not allowed under your configuration.
Shutdown Error: Fatal error returned from shellout command.

Can anybody give me a clue as to how I configure Povray to allow Shellout?

Apart from this problem my animated scene renders fine.

Cheers,

Peter

myfile.ini:
Input_File_Name=eg2d2.anim.pov
+kff20
+W720 +H576
+O
Post_Frame_Command=convert -flop %o flop.png
Post_Frame_Return=F
;Post_Frame_Command="convert -flop %o flop.png"
;Post_Frame_Command=convert -flop %o flop.png
;Post_Frame_Command="convert -flop eg2d2.anim01.png flop.png"
;Post_Frame_Command=convert -flop eg2d2.anim01.png flop.png
;Post_Frame_Command="echo 'Hello World'"
;Post_Frame_Command=echo 'Hello World'
