About doboxfro 0.50 and DosBox 0.60 :

there's something to fix with the way doboxfro 0.50 handles the dosbox config's [render] section.
It seems to me the doboxfro -> Other -> snapshots button writes a "snapshots=" item to the ini file like it was the 0.58 (DosBox) version,
while v. 0.60 afaik (just see dosbox.conf) exacts one "snapdir -- Directory where screenshots get saved" entry.

In fact, I noticed I couldn't get a single screenshot anymore after starting using doboxfro 0.50 + DosBox 0.60 and this is how I figure that it ought to be, simply writing the relevant snapdir line in my ini's so now it's working fine.

But then using the snapshots button again in doboxfro will overwrite the "good" spelling so this should be fixed (or the snapshots button be left unused).

[Edited : no, it doesn't overwrite the snapdir thing, it will only add an ineffectual snapshots entry thereafter]

Well the dosboxfro isn't maintained by the authors. It's created by shrlui

why, you know, this is very clear to me.
And in fact it was his (shrlui's) attention I was trying to call to this little dosboxfro bug.
It's not really DosBox concern to maintain this routine.
