I lost power last night 7 days into a rendering job (MegaPov 7). The image
is intact up to the point the PC stopped so I added the
Continue_Trace = +C

line to the povray.ini file I am using but immediately upon restarting the
job, the Message window announced it was rendering line 0 - 4800, i.e.,
starting over. I did make a backup of the work so far, but why doesn;t the
Continue command do the job?
Thanks,
D.

Hi!

> Continue_Trace = +C

I think, this should be

"Continue_Trace = on"

or

"+c" ( short version for the above)

Strange, that it did work this way - there should be a boolean value behind
the '=', and "+C" isn't a value... (ok, a string, but...)

If this doesn't help, I don't know the answer.

Okay, thanks. I tried Continue_Trace = on" and two things happened:
It did not erase the existing TGA file, which is good, but the Message
Window says Rendering Line 0 of 0

so I am not really sure what is happening!
Best,
D.

  It's working ok. Just wait a moment until povray calculates the extra
line for antialiasing. Then that line should show the correct number
of lines left (it will say "line 1 of x" where x is the number of lines
still to be rendered).
