Greetings.

I have a scene which contains some external JPEG graphic files. My aatempts 
to render the scene fail, due a lack of RAM (I only have 1.25 GB).

My idea is, and I want to place it here as a feature request, that POV-Ray 
should not only abort the parsing with an error message such as 
"Insufficient memory to allocate intermediate image storage", but to support 
the user more actively.

My wish is, that POV-Ray tells the user how many MB all images together 
should have in order to have the scene still being able to be rendered. That 
would help the user to downsize the graphic(s) accordingly to the size 
allowed as maximum, and prevents these endless try-and-run-POV-Ray until, 
somewhen when the sun sets down and the birds stop singing their endless 
pink songs of love and the fox says Good Night to the chicken, it finally 
works.

Is that possible?

Greetings,

Sven
