Hello,
in bigger projects it is often a good idea to split scene into several 
files. I.e. main.pov in including ufo.inc ground.inc cfg.inc

The problem is - that to render entire image while editing ufo.inc You must 
switch to another window, start rendering, and switch back.

This takes only a few seconds, but since this is repeated realy often 
(especialy when no additional editor is used :) it is annoying.

My suggstion - instead of :
ctrl+tab, alt+g, ctrl+tab
  press just
F5

Editor should have option to select/load active project.

What do You think ?

Ofcourse ther is a work-around for this :
in ufo.inc

  #ifndef (PRJ_LOADED_MAIN)
    #include "main.pov"
  #else
    ... entire ufo.inc scene ...
  #end

and in main.pov

  #declare PRJ_LOADED_MAIN=1;
  #include "ufo.inc"
  //...

pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100
