How do I specify the INI file in qtpovray? I don't know the correct menu 
option.

Those should be the same as the regular POV-Ray files.

 From POV-Ray for Windows, it's under Tools. The first two options.

You can also find those, along with several other, in the Documents folder.
../Documents/povray3.7/ini/

Um, erm, I guess I didn't really set that up properly.

On my box, it is looking for
SYSINI = C:/Users/dick/Documents\qtpovray\v3.8\ini\povray.ini
but it doesn't exist and I don't care.  I guess I should.

A menu to pick whatever INI file I want like in standard POV-Ray for 
Windows would be nice to have. Thanks!

I don't see a Tools menu. I only see File, Edit and Help.

Also, how do I change the folder for this stuff to the "Public" user 
instead of my admin user. Thanks.

Not normal. There are 8 more menu top items.
The following are missing : Search, Text, Editor, Insert, Render, 
Options, Tools and Window.

The installer should have selected your Documents directory.  (I did see 
it pick admin once in testing, but I thought that was fixed.)

During install, there was a place where it asked what directory to 
install to.

qtpovray doesn't really use the register.  For povray sdl, the important 
thing is the root directory when you created the workspace.  For the 
help, includes, and inserts, those can be changed in the configure dialog.

I'm working on making the Windows ini usage of qtpovray more consistent 
with POV-Ray for Windows.
