It works!
Thank you for the development and your kind help.
The only problem I got that my machine went to sleep after 30 minutes. I am sure that was why the robot stopped and turned to pink. But it generated more than 200 pairs of files. So I'll change the windows sleep settings.
But the robot is perfect.

wanted to update you on my experimenting with the robot--this thing is awesome! It greatly expedites my creative process by helping to discover novel combinations of formulae. Normally, I waste time trying to "force" something out of the same set of formulae without playing around with the lesser-used ones. I have been letting the bot run over night or while I am away at work, and then later pick out the params that catch my eye to explore further. Already have come across some very cool starting points. I see serious potential for your automation app--thanks for sharing and for your hard work.

You are welcome smiley

I also the robot overnight, then use the image thumbnails to pick out 'interesting' candidates for exploring.
I also run it on a free VM on my laptop - as this lets the robot run uninterrupted while I do other stuff.

Handy hint if you haven't set it up yet - associate m3p to the mandelbulb3d exe. Then you just double click the m3p file with  the same name as the thumbnail to open it in mandelbulb3d.

Can I get a look at this also?
Thanks

Will give it a try on the Mac with WINE

Sent you a PM with the link.
Mac with WINE could be interesting - WINE would have to do a really good job of emulating windows as the robot uses the Windows API to automate Mandelbulb3D

If there is a larger interest I could implement it as regular feature inside MB3D (as MB3D works fine on WINE).

WOW that would be great.
If it does get enough interest - implementing this as a web service is quite flexible.
i.e. having MB3D act as a simple server an accepting parameters / actions in the form of XML requests.

While this is probably a good idea, it sounds like too much effort. This formula-changing-code probably does not work without the UI.
I'm working on a new release, and had to add some stuff in the existing code, again it was ***censored***

All I can offer is to create a window inside MB3D which does the same as you do with your external tool,
but can adress the form-properties (there are no real properties, but many fields with meaningful names like Edit21, lol) in a more direct manner.
If you are interested, please send me a spec or your code so that I can hack it in for the next release, I think many people will like such a feature (and some will hate it, lol)

Cheers!

Sorry, my bad for not being clear.

What I meant is to have the MB3D application as it is (windows and all), and have MB3D also have a XML HttpListener running that responds to XML as if user had done the same in a window.
So
Code:
<main>
<position>
<xmid>1.2</xmid>
</position>
</main>
would set X mid in the main window to 1.2 (and the user could see this change in the main window > position > X mid field).

and
Code:
<main>
<savem3i>
<image>true</image>
<filename>c: empfoo.m3i</filename>
</save,3i>
</main>
would save the formulas in a m3i file (just as if the user clicked the save > m3i > enter filename into save as dialog > press enter) but without the dialog.
