The work around for #2 that I found is to make sure I choose a view window size reduction factor of 1, which seems to mimic View Window=off, and it gets written into the par file. Not the best solution, but it works for me.

I have a couple of questions about par files.

For the most part, I am using Fractint Version 20.04.14 via DOSBox SVN-Daum on a Win10 machine.

1) can someone explain the reset=xxxx entry? I can find no mention other than a specific reference to "reset=1920" in the docs. I am in the process of reevaluating many par files from the past audio fractal work I have done over the years, and am trying to determine the effect of various reset= entries in my pars.

2) Has it always been the case that the view window parameter is only recorded if it is other than the default "no"? This is a big problem for me because I often - but not always - use various view window settings for audio files, which often have no visual indication as to whether a view window is being used or not. I find that if the previous par had a view window used, that subsequent pars are run in a view window unless specifically reset manually to "no". It would be a great help if the view window setting could be passed even if a view window is not used.

Thanks!
