Hello again,
Sorry that I can't provide more happy news than this.
The computer crash when trying to render "allobjects_.pov" in
scenes->portfolio.

I wish I could provide more info than this, but everything freezes as
soon as the parsing progress bar turns up, and then I have to restart. I
think that it has something to do with the ini.files.

There might be a small chance that I'm doing something wrong though, as
I've never used ini.files before. I read the "read me" file in that
folder, but became no wiser from it. (what is a "command line"?).

Can you suggest what I should do to be able to give you more useful
information than this?

Tom Stone

Tom,
 The portfolio section currently doesn't work on Macs. The name of the 
INI file should be the same as the name of the POV file. I got this Mac 
specific information too late to update the files for the current 
release, it will be fixed in the next beta.

Ingo

Thanks Ingo.
Then the program have to give an error message, instead of crashing, in
situations like this.
Which I guess already is being corrected.
