Tony, Jonathan, I also had trouble with "FractSDL" after editing fractint.cfg . I conjectured that there might have been a problem of the text being encoded with some other standard then ASCII, say: UTF-8, etc... I just went back to the original fractint.cfg . - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint [mailto:fractint-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Osuch Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2017 7:25 PM To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Fractint] Update to SDL version Tony,
For several releases now, I've had crashes on startup (Windows version) when I try to change the fractint.cfg or sstools.ini files.
Are you using a text editor to edit these files? I use Notepad with no problems.
Or, if I get to rendering point, if I ask for a new render size via Del, I get a crash; or if I try to use a short-cut key like f7 to bypass Del, it also crashes.
I can't explain this. The video interface is not as robust as it should be. (duh!)
