[Initial Window]

3D | C | D | L | M | R | S | T

The [Initial Window] section of the Image.ini file determines whether certain Imagenation window elements and floating windows appear automatically when you start Imagenation. It also defines the size and location of the Imagenation window itself. If "Save=1" in this section, all of the keynames in it are saved on quit.
