I only ever edit the cfg and ini files with Notepad, yes, and save them as their proper extensions, ANSI encoding. On 27 October 2017 at 09:43, david <gnome@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:

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!)
I just tried it here (Linux version). F7, F2, Shift-F10 (my 1920x1080x256 addition to the config file) all worked just fine. Selecting video modes using Del worked, too. Even the 1920x1080x24-bit True Color one I added works.
Running the marksmandpower in the 40Kx53K disk video mode just to see how it turns out. Hasn't been a drag on the rest of the system.
And now the XFractint SDL window is doing nothing. I pressed Tab, got text screen showing progress. Pressed F7, not the "Next" text screen. After that, the window stopped responding to keystrokes or doing anything. Then, after a few moments, it resumed responding to keystrokes.
Have no idea what happened there, but marksmandpower is still cranking away.
