I have POV 3.1g for Win 95. How do I make an INI setting to set the
default scene file open and save directories? 
Is there an INI setting for default height field directories?

Post a reply to this message

When looking for a height field, it looks in the include directories,
which usually are the directory with the scene file and the "Include"
directory with the standard include files. About the .ini settings, look
in pov.doc section 3.1.2 for a detailed explanation.

I have included the "images" directory in the povray.ini file. so that any
image rendered is is easily available.

You can actually specify up to 10 different directory locations
in the ini file if I remember correctly.

Steve, this is unrelated entirely to the issue at hand, but since
I'm already in the mood...

Did you know your MIME charset is set to UTF-7?  You might find it
better to switch to something more commonly accepted, such as us-ascii,
for postings in English-speaking newsgroups.  Just a suggestion.  If
you need assistance locating the place where this is set, just let me
know.

Not really.  UTF-8 is a Unicode encoding, so unless you'll be doing a lot of
posting in weird languages, I'd suggest us-ascii or whatever the ISO Roman
standard is.  A quick survey of posters here suggests us-ascii is the local
preference.

  I have mine set to Western (ISO-8859-1) and have never heard anyone complain.

That's the one I was thinking of.  Actually, yours comes through as us-ascii,
but that must be a modification they're making behind the scenes.

Cheers guys.

That should be it now.  In preferences in netscape under fonts,
encoding, I had Western selected which you would think is right. 
But in the View menu I had utf-8 selected, (due to exchanging
emails with people in mexico who's special characters I couldn't
read).  Now I've set view to Western.

You would think that view would change the view and not the
outgoing message preferences.

Oh and before that works I've had to delete stuff from my
outgoing mail folder otherwise it just hangs. But I think I've
solved it now. 

Cheers
Steve
