Mostly but I remain hopeful. Besides the obvious benifits of associated
file extension opening files they syntax highlighting for the codemax
editor would also become active for associated file types. If you open
a .mcr file now you get none highlighted code on your screen becuase
it isn't automaticaly recognized by the editor as .pov or .inc code.

Not if we standardize it. Colefax uses .mcr so that makes it a standard :)
