it's seems like an easy enough thing to do .... should there be any 
agreement on image size and format (jpg, png, bmp)
How about 1024x768 jpg?

that's a nice clean format .... how did you do it? a html template file and 
awk, sed, perl?

I've completed a file manifest .... we have 365 pov files. I didn't count 
includes, ini or image files.

I've attached the breakdown.

  Does it take into account that not all scene files have an aspect ratio
of 4:3?

  (Personally I feel nothing more irritating than automatically rendered
images which use the wrong aspect ratio, squeezing the image horribly.)

  Take into account that not all the scene files use an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Those which don't have to be rendered with the proper resolution.

  Probably the width of the rendered images could be fixed, while the
height depends on the aspect ratio.

it's a shell script analyzing the header comment of the scene files and 
rendering the scene and generating the list accordingly.

I will try to have a look at it during the weekend.

The render options are specified as a scene comment as it is already 
done in most of the 3.6 sample scenes.

Ok, I've reinstalled POV-Ray 3.7.0.beta27.
I'll go step by step in case my method needs fixing.
As my first victim, scenes\qtvr\qtvrpanorama.pov from 3.7
File states:
#version 3.5;
global_settings{ assumed_gamma 1.0}
//-w384 -h1284 (command line recomended)

1)I run the scene with POV-Ray 3.5
2)I run the scene with POV-Ray 3.7(new output file name)
3)I run the scene with POV-Ray 3.7, removing version and gamma(new output file
name)

I compare 1 and 2, PaintShopPro/Arithmetic/difference. The resulting image is
not blank.
I compare 1 and 3, PaintShopPro/Arithmetic/difference. The resulting image is
not blank.

qtvrpanorama.pov does not render the same.
Yikes, now what?

Include the updated scene anyways? If it needs fixing, this will be beyond me.

Next is talking about what changes are visible, and figuring out what to 
change to "fix" it. Some differences will be easy, others might not. As 
a group, though, we should be able to get a good many of them.
