p.programming is for discussing the actual source code.  Feature requests should 
go here.

No it isn't a switch you've missed.  The "show" button will only display the 
last image you've rendered.

I agree with you that having a more versatile "show" button (or having a menu 
item that allowed to display recently rendered images) could be a nice addition 
that wouldn't be too hard too implement, but having an image viewing app loaded 
on your pc alongside POV isn't too hard for the user to implement, either. ;-)
