Does anyone know if the silent omitting of files
from the "Restore" file list (see behavior below)
is the result of a "compiled in" limitation in DOS
Fractint or a memory limitation in the WinXP DOS
environment?
When I recently tried to "Restore" an image in my DOS
Fractint Ver 20.04.4 under WinXP SP3, I discovered
that I couldn't see the last few fractals that it had
calculated in the directory listing of .gif images
able to be Restored.
The files were really there, and could be listed and
viewed by other software -- but were just not presented
in the Fractint "Restore" command's file list.
I noted that I had 5 thousand and some-odd files in
the /Fractint/ directory, and on a whim, moved 600
of my older images to a new folder. Lo and behold,
the latest images appeared in the "Restore" command's
file list!
Any observations on this behavior would be appreciated.
Fractint Developers, would you be kind enough to
address any replies to the Fractint email list serve?
Thanks!
