FS#217 - raddem.ini with +C and some frames already done: failure
How to do it: (with raddem.ini & raddem.pov from distributed scenes, copied in local directory)
1. run “povray raddem.ini” until frame 6 or more (irrelevant, at least frame 1 & 2 are needed), interrupt the render.
2. restart “povray raddem.ini +C”
It fails at frame 2 with
Possible Parse Error: Cannot find file ‘raddem.pov’, even after trying to append
file type extension.
Parse Error: Cannot open input file.
Fatal error in parser: Cannot parse input.
Render failed
The detection of frame 1 is fine.
Duplicated on Windows with 3.7RC3:
1. Ini, browse to scenes/animation/raddem/raddem.ini
(notice: Radiosity line must be removed or set in comment)
2. close all scenes tab.
3. Run
4. stop once a few images have been rendered
5. Put "+C" in the command line text-box (without the quotes)
6. Run
and it fails at the same step (frame 2 does not find the raddem.pov file)
Testing with 3.7RC5 on linux: problem is gone.
