Hi Lutz :)
I'm an intensive user of Luis' InsertCode plugin
I often need to use an object created in moray in a macro or a piece of
code.
For example an object dropped on a heightfield by the trace() function
To get these objects #declared in Pov export file, I have to duplicate them
as referenced objects.
Should it be possible to have a check box close to the "export" one named
"declare" so that the object could be in the declarations section of export?

Does it make sense?

Thanx
Marc

Yes, it's a good feature, i think.
Not only for using InsertCode, but also to retrieve correctly one object in
a plugin, for example.
And It could be a new Attribut Object, like others. To solve compatibiliy,
this checkbox must to be checked if the object is referenced, and per
default not checked if not.

Hi Marc Jacquier, you recently wrote in moray.win:

I need to think of all the cases that this touches.... theoretically,
it should not be a problem, since the reference object already does
part of this....
