hi,

what type of scripts can be run when the Render Queue is finished (set in
Preferences:Actions:Actions after all jobs finished)?  POV-Ray scripts
only?  the help docs suggest this feature can be used to quit, sleep, shut
down - which implies some control of events outside of POV-Ray...

which leads me back to...

is there any way to run an applescript from POV-Ray?  for example, since
"show Preview" slows rendering on OS X, one could write an applescript to
open a newly rendered image in Preview when the Render Queue is complete.
just as one possibility.

from the lack of response to this and my original applescript question, what
should I conclude?  this feature is not usable?  it only runs POV-Ray
scripts?  if the latter, it seems redundant given the ability to set up a
render queue.  can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?
