And here it comes:

1. I read the documentation online (the menu item in the editor does not 
work, do I have to set some env-variables?). Now I know a lot more about 
your program :)

2. Although I now know that there is a way to use custom command lines, 
I still think that a option tab like the old one is pretty useful.

3. As your insert menu only uses files with the .txt extentions, could 
you get rid off the .txt extension in the menu items? (Would simply look 
cooler :)

4. When using the assistant to create an ini-file, would it be possible 
to only output those options which differ from the default values? Right 
now if I change only the resolution, I get more than one page of 
options, all but the resolution ones showing the default values...
And if I define a section like this in the ini (without the assistant)

[400x300 no AA]
width=400
height=300

and later use the assistant to add another section to the ini, my own 
custom one (3-liner from above) will be blown up like described above, 
too :(

5. I think it would be a good idea if your editor would still create the 
output-filename automatically (if it is not defined in the ini). If I 
have to change the ini everytime I want to render another file, then I 
have no need for an editor :)
And of course the ".pov" extension should be cut from the filename (so 
the image is not called "myscene.pov.png" (like in former versions), but 
"myscene.png").
