  3.5 OS X Templates Bug (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Greetings,

In Mac OS X (10.1.4):
If POV-Ray 3.5 is installed on a partition other than the start-up 
volume, the template menu DOES NOT DO ANYTHING.

This was driving me insane, because I couldn't find any documentation 
saying that this was a requirement.

After moving my installation, the templates work as expected.

=========

"Quit POV-Ray" in the application menu does not work... but the 
duplicated "Quit POV-Ray" in the file menu (and cmd-q) DOES work.

Scroll wheel support would be wonderful. (MegaPOV has this)

Anyone know how I can get POV-Ray syntax coloring in BBEdit? Or fake it? (
Setting the language to Java is close, but not close enough) Perhaps 
someone is working on a BBEdit POV-Ray language plug-in?

Thanx.

Nope, you observation is incorrect.  Templates just stop working after the
first render if that render accesses a file outside the applications main
directory, that is all.

I would suggest the get the latest build (Build Number 173) of POV-Ray 3.5
from povray.org .  Apart from fixing one of the Template problems it will
also be faster under Mac OS X if the "Fast Preview Mode" is turned on.
