Hello everyone!

Is there possibility to override INI settings inside POV file? It's quite
annoying to edit INI when need to change one simple parameter (eg.
Sampling_Threshold - I will not create sections for all possible tresholds,
it's stupid!)

Thanx for suggestions (in advance)

No.  You can just use the command line.  Settings specified on the
command-line will override INI file settings.

And on POV-Ray for Windows, you can type command line settings in a comment, 
right-click on them, and choose 'Copy "xxx" to Command-Line'. They will go 
to the command-line edit box.
A useful workaround.
