Yes, I have foud the problem. in fact, I try to protect the filename 
with \ and finaly povray doesn't understand what it means whereas on 
command line the shell translate the arguments into something that pov 
prefers .... The bug should be corrected via these few things :

open file 'menu/renderMenu.cpp.h'
go to line 102
replace these lines :
         for (uint i = 0 ; i < pathsList.count() ; i++)
         {
             if (pathsList[i].selected)
             {
                 cmd += " +L";
                 cmd += secure_filename(pathsList[i].path);
             }
         }

         cmd += " +I";
         cmd += secure_filename(activeFileName);
         cmd += " +B001 +O";
         cmd += secure_filename(activeFileName);
         cmd += ".png";
         cmd += " +GA";
         cmd += RENDERER_FILE;
         cmd += QString::number(getpid());
         cmd += " ";
         cmd += additionnalOptions->text();

with these ones :
         for (uint i = 0 ; i < pathsList.count() ; i++)
         {
             if (pathsList[i].selected)
             {
                 cmd += " +L";
                 cmd += pathsList[i].path;
             }
         }

         cmd += " +I";
         cmd += activeFileName.section('/',-1,-1);
         cmd += " +B001 +O";
         cmd += activeFileName.section('/',-1,-1);
         cmd += ".png";
         cmd += " +GA";
         cmd += RENDERER_FILE;
         cmd += QString::number(getpid());
         cmd += " ";
         cmd += additionnalOptions->text();




I hope this will be enough
