Hope this is not to late to make it into 3.5 - its just a small tweak from
the gui behaviour of pov 3.1g

with more than one monitor, could the render window appear on the same
window as povray?

I don't understand the request.  It shares the same screen, as is, but can
be in a different place from the program window.  I.e. a non-maximized
window allows for sharing the screen by tiling or cascading or whatever.
Although I haven't done it yet with POV-Ray, and I really should try, my
video graphics card (and/or OS, very important) allows for dual monitors
which spans the screens.  The render window could go on one and the program
on the other.
I've checked it out before, just not when running POV-Ray.  I'm seldom at my
other computer to do so.
The suggestion also seems like asking to have the render window embedded
into the main window instead of separate, except that part about "more than
one monitor".

thats what i was refering to - my post was not as clear as it could have
been :)

currently I have pov on my second vid, and moray \ rhino on my primary. when
povray renders it places the render window on my primary monitor (everytime)
instead of on the same monitor as pov

how about if povray remembered the position of the last render window upon
its close (and which vid it was on)

And here you meant: remember render window position after a close and
restart of POV-Ray...?  :-)
Well, the render window itself does retain the last position if it is closed
and reopened so that must be what you said.  Or... you're asking it only
retain the 2nd monitor xy placement, in which case that seems a video driver
issue to me.  Or yes to both ways.  Alas, I do not know anything about it
though.
Maybe if I weren't so lazy I'd plug in my other CRT and have a look for
myself to see if mine already does so.  Don't count me out yet though.

yes and yes, I am not fussed about the x,y position of the render window,
more concerned with it remembering which monitor it was last on. currently
the render window always appears on the primary monitor, usually on the
screen edge closest to the monitor with povray on.

I think Chris will need a dual-head system to develop that, and I am
not sure he has one.
