I downloaded Version 1.8.7.4 in March, but as to getting all the formulae, as a noob I'm still not sure (I get only seven: Amazing Box, Aexion, Bulbox, Folding Int Power, Integer Power, Real Power and Tricom).
Incidently, and it's not really your problem but mine, I produced two fractals (Hunter and Spikiworld in my Deviant) using someone else's parameters that I forgot to note, and so give credit to. So, if anyone out there 'see's' what looks like their parameter work, apologies for the credit issue. I wish, though, more would give the parameters in the images they post...they might as well, as share and share is something I like and practise myself (in other areas that I work in).
As far as giving credit to others parameters, that is important. So if you can't remember where you got them, you should at the very least mention in your author comments that your image was made using someone's parameters, but you can't remember whos... A lot of people share parameters, I do occasionally, and I used to quite often. But I had some run ins with a very few people that used them and they denied it and refused to give credit. A lot of people don't share for that reason. If parameters are not tweaked properly, it's not hard to spot a thief.
Yes, good idea...have updated the credit issue (or lack thereof
I understand the issue with non-creditation issue as it is, in some way, a cheap shot in creating works at expense of someone else’s parameters. Heck, I would go crazy (actually, sue the bast..ds) if someone used a print, a painting, an article of mine for their own gain. The problem, I would presume, is that if they’re probably seeing it in terms of the time, talent, individuality and personal creativity that they used in producing a unique work of their own, then why should credit be given simply for using parameters which were originally created in a software that the parameter-maker didn’t have anything to do with. I’ve seen quite a few expertly-finished Mandelbulb images with the parameters given, but there was no mention of Mandelbulb, or Jesse (whom I think was the original creator of Mandelbulb – forgive me if I’m incorrect) credited.

Btw...thanks for the link, which I'll look into later today (didn't have times in last post - so busy fractalizing
Cheers
