under the fr0st folder, are stored
- parameters: library of flames, used as shapes for generating the fractals
- scripts: the scripts to run to animate and render the flames
- config.cfg: configuration file. Delete it to restore defaults.
This folder should be the default folder used by the app to load config from. Depending on your folder location or operating system, you might want to allow access to this folder for python to run.

Open the Edit > Preferences and reduce the default settings (if not done already). exemple: Preview: quality = 1, density = 0, filter radius = 0, oversample = 1 Large preview: quality = 25, density = 0, filter radius = 0.25, oversample = 2 xform: range = 1, quality = 5, depth = 2 Renderer = flam4 Misc > jpeg quality = 15
START the visualization
Select the flame to use from the set by default or load a set of flames. Show the preview window (right end of the toolbar) to see the rendered fractal.
