What exacly .ini options should I use to get 

1) a c:\image\hist.bmp file containing CPU histogram
2) to name it file-name.png where file-name.bmp is the normal output file
3) to set it's size always same as normal output
4) to set it's size to half as normal output (to have 2x2 pixels gird cell 
size)

Specify the name, as answer 2 below. Except set Histogram_Type to S.

> 2) to name it file-name.png where file-name.bmp is the normal output file

Histogram_Name=Filename.png
Histogram_Type=N
Output_File_Type=S

> 3) to set it's size always same as normal output

Don't specify a grid size, unlike answer 4 below. Or set it equal to Width,
Height.

Histogram_Grid_Size=320.240

So if the original is Width=640 and Height=480 you will get 2x2 blocks.

Hey, oh no! I just checked this out myself and histogram is set to off when
ini file options are used, works okay if they are command line switches
though. Did I do something wrong?
Anybody else want to confirm this?

but how to get 1x1 or 2x2 block in EVERY image width/height ?

I had simmilar problem - therefore I asked here. Maybe this is a bug ?

btw. while experimating with diffrent ini options - some strange files 
afair *.rca or .rc5 were created instead of histogram. WHat are thoes files 
?

Not sure I know what you're asking. If Width=640 and Height=480 then you use
Histogram_Grid_Size=640.480 (is a period, not comma) for it to become a
pixel for pixel image output. So using half the original resolution makes it
2 by 2, using quarter makes it 4 by 4 block sizes.
You simply must specify according to the image output resolution chosen for
the scene.

Temporary files used for making PNG output, if I'm remembering that right.
They can get left behind when you cancel a render I guess. I can't search
the newsgroups at this time to check about that though so I could be wrong.

Is they way to have always 1x1 cell independing from current width/height ?

I wanted to automaticly make histogram for every file, so I wanted to add 
histogram init options to global init. But I often change width/height for 
each rendering

Yes, the default is to do each and every pixel regardless of resolution
settings. Just leave Histogram_Grid_Size commented out or empty (also do not
use +HS switch). I said that it defaults to that before but guess you
overlooked it.
