hello,

please help me !
how can I change the directory and path for my in- and output pictures?
It dont work if I try to change the INI file. After a new start I get
the old directory.

Is it possible to write a string in the POV file ?

Best regards
Peter

For the output location:
Edit "povray.ini" situated in the \renderer folder to include:
Output_File_Name="your_location"
This is to tel where to save.
And edit "pvengine.ini" in the \ini folder to include in the [Permitted Output 
Paths] section:
3=your_location, you can use %INSTALLDIR%\ to point to the instalation location 
on your system or use a complete path.
The number must be consecutive to those already present, change if there is more 
or less than 2 previous entries.
This to provide autorisation to write there.

For the input location:
Edit "povray.ini" to include:
Library_Path="your_location"
Tells where to look for.
And edit "pvengine.ini" to include in the [Permitted Input Paths] section:
<number>="your_location"
To give read permision.
