Hi,

 I managed to crash openscad trying to surface  a large messed up
 png.
 When I run openscad again, it opens to a blank window. I have
 another
 older version on my backup PC, and the exe, if copied over to
 this pc,
 runs, but my font settings, etc. are gone. I've just installed
 the 7/10
 nightly build (windows 64), and that opens to the blank window
 also.
 There is an scad.ini file which if renamed/not used, still gives
 the
 white window. (but in the old backup folder, there is no ini. )
 Do i
 need to completely uninstall openscad, and reinstall, or it
 there some
 other ini. type file lurking around (I'm not sure if an ini. is
 even
 required, but there must be something that sets up the layout)?

 Best wishes,


 Ray
