I am testing some animations and created my .pov file and my .ini file
and included
> Output_File_Name=wingfunc/wingfunc.png
I get ID Restrictions prohibit write access to 'wingfunc\wingfunc01.png'
I'm on windows. I've tried the full path name, I've tried adding single
and double quotation marks, nothing works.
I can render everything into the same folder but I'd like to keep my
files somewhat clean.
Is this even possible?
Josh

in my own .ini files, I use the output_file_name without file extension.
occasionally I render from the output directory, and use a '+l..' library_path
in such cases. hth.

[Running v3.8.0 beta 1 in Windows 10]
For my own animations, I use the following line in the master povray.ini file--
with *backward* slash marks, and no file extension-- to put all of my image
renders into one folder:
Output_File_Name=C:\Users\Kenneth\Documents\Kens_POV_Ray_rendered_IMAGES\
No double-quotes needed-- unless there is a space in one of the folder names,
then the entire name would need the quotes like this:
Output_File_Name="C:\Users\Kenneth\Documents\Kens POV-Ray rendered IMAGES\"
If I recall, at some point in the past there was a discussion about backward
slashes vs. forward ones re: Windows. I don't exactly remember why I settled on
using the backward variety. :-[ Except that it works, ha.
BTW, I also have v3.7.0 installed. I took a look at its povray.ini file, and I
use the same syntax there.
I hope this helps.

Forgot to mention that in the pull-down menu for 'Options' then 'Script I/O
Restrictions', I have both 'No Restrictions' and 'Permit Read/Write In Current
Directory' checked.

It was here, in 2017...

And I see that *forward* slashes are actually recommended in Windows. I had
forgotten that.
