I have quickly done the same: I don't want to have images scattered in the
POV-Ray installation directory as I try the sample images...
Actually, I have -f on the low resolutions, used to have a quick view, and
+fn on the higher resolutions, which are used mostly to do final images.
I can still add -f when I need a high quality preview...
More exactly, in quickres.ini, I have either:
Output_to_File=off
or
Output_to_File=On
Output_File_Type=n
