Hmm.. I don't think I agree with you there. Personally, I'd like the option
of using it or not. I prefer to make my scenes 'stand alone', without having
to load an ., and 'ini_option' would be especially useful when 3rd parties
render your scenes, so image size/ratio can be preset. Also, being able to
place the +QR switch in the scene saves a lot of annoying 'no radiosity'
moments!

I think they should have their own block (  ini_settings {}  ) too.

Still, I am resigned to them not being in future versions of megaPOV.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
