END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

A big thank you goes to Sabine, now mandelbulber have been translated into Dutch goo.gl/ubt3ap
Qui veut travailler sur la traduction française?  

Very welcome, nice to be able to do a little something in return:)

There are some issues that would be nice to improve/allow:

archive names with dots can be given to .fract files
However, for image files, the name is cut down to the first occurrence of a dot:
c2i0E-1+2(-0.71;.59,-.06)(-.73;.59,.07)1280x1440st003lunitas.fract
but the image with the same name only saves
c2i0E-1+2(-0.png

I am getting a large percentage of wrong estimates (46%) in some imaginary scator fractals.
For example with the .fract parameters attached. Is there an impact of these wrong estimates in the image?

1) latest change has not addressed this

2) the scator needs a different distance estimation calculation or brute force rendering.In respect to a  different DE calc. I do not know enough to make one.

I think Fragmentarium may have a brute force rendering option, but I have never used it.
