I am using povray 3.5, build 173, under OS X, 10.5.1.

As I understand it, there are three ways to control animation:

1. File settings/Animation
2. INI file
3. Command line

I don't want to use command line if possible. I am happy with 1 and 2, and
prefer 2, i.e. INI file control. But I have problems with both these.

I cannot get the ini file to be read. In "povray application
preference:scenes" I have set it to read the INI file. But it always
ignores the INI file for the .pov file I am rendering. Please suggest what
I might be doing wrong.

With method 1, it starts working, but always hangs after writing about 8
pict files. The rotating CD appears, and the only way out is a force quit.
I have tried this with several files, including the supplied povray
examples.

Appreciate any thoughts.
