Hello! I am firing up xfractint on my Ubuntu machine and it's pretty much as I remembered fractint many years ago--an old friend. Is anyone successfully using batch mode with xfractint? I can't get it to output anything other than a blank 800x600 image around 3KB. xfractint works well in interactive mode with the same .par. I was wondering if it might be related to setting video params, based on the fractint manual, but that doesn't seem to be a thing with xfractint...? command line: combs@pripyat:~$ xfractint @madnessmethod.par/madnessmethod batch=y savename=barf .par contents: madnessmethod { reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.83027567839279071/+0.20488435231784574/18436.37 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=88888 inside=0 colors=@grey.map } very glad for any help anyone can offer!
