I use an editor to write Povray scripts and run the renders with a
command shell that looks like :
'megapovplus +i% +w320 +h240 -l/mnt/dd1/image/pov >& /dev/null'
I did this because a new window is created with when a render is
completed. I ended up with lots of window on my desk(top).


The point is that when errors are detected, nothing is shown. I wanted
to use the 'Fatal_Error_Command', but it cannot be used in the command
line. If I put this command in a ini files, how do I tell POV to show
the Fatal_File stream in a new window ? If possible, I'd like to have
the same window for all the errors : No new window created when a new
error is detected.

The answer is surely simple, but I am still shiny new in the Linux
world.

Would you advise something else ?

Thanks

Thanks for that.
I am interested in any solution

It seems that I leave you some work these days. ( header files).

I am not exactly sure if this will do what you want, but why not redirect
all _other_ streams to /dev/null using the Xxx_File option in an INI file,
and only leave Fatal_File stream as is.  Your shell can then capture the
output and do what it wants with it.

I think that what I am going to do for the time being.
Thanks for the tip.


I am wondering : Do all the unices-POVers use Emacs to edit their scenes?
If not, what do they use ?

Andreas Dilger used vi, IIRC.  I use Emacs.

Some use Pico, some use Nedit and even MCedit.  There was a thread
above where many people gave answers to this question.   

I did use Pico, but now use emacs.

I use vim.

I'm in the process of (hopefully) vastly
ameliorating [poor english? -- sorry]
its POV-Ray support.

Who uses nedit here ?
I did its syntax highlighting for POV in 15 minutes. There are still a
few keywords to add, but it works amazingly well.
