Ok, this is a fork of Virtual Whirlwind which I use, and extending it is 
good idea (especially taking into account that I'm just about to bring 
some order into my own programs for creating POV files).

The question is - how do I safely install it under VSCode, considering 
the fact that you have no releases at Github, and nothing present at 
vscode store? Please take into account that I manually edit vscode 
config only when I absolutely definitely surely have no other way to fix 
something :-)

Indeed, it is a new branch to which I am adding tools that are useful to me when
editing my pov files. As it takes a while to add them to the main branch and
publish it in the extensions marketplace, I will make them available for
download on my website shortly so that I can get feedback from users and detect
errors.

As long as I understand, there is even a Github "job" for building 
*.vsix for releases. In theory, all this can be done by users but I'm 
too old to learn new tricks, and would much prefer having this extension 
in "point and double click" form. I can stand downloading it from Github 
instead of vscode store while it's in development stage, but I 
definitely want it as .vsix rather than whole Git branch "ok and there 
do I put it now?" form.

So yes, I'm a VSCode user, and I've just decided to turn some of my 
Python POV-generators into something elegant rather than "one more 
program for each idea" junk yard, so, if you provide your extension as 
.vsix, I will definitely give it a try.

Hi, Paco !

Thanks for sharing this extension, I would like to use as I need
to edit colormaps in my DICOM/df3 viewer
(https://povlab.online/?scene=dicom.pov), but unfortunately can' not
install ше from github, getting error after running:

vsce package --no-yarn

'tsc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Is there any way to install this extension from prebuilt 'vsix' file or
from inside of vscode ? Now I see only version v2.1.1 there.

All the best.

Hi, you can download the last version from this link:
https://www.arakne.es/en/visual-studio-code-extension-for-povray/
This new version adds a tool for converting strings with non ASCII characters to
 UTF8

Actually I can't - timeout somewhere after
ams-ix-1.airenetworks.es [80.249.211.91]
right after 10.50.109.190

Why don't you just make a release in your github repo and place vsix 
file there? Github can stand even my programs (as all Python programs in 
general, and ones having GUI in particular, they produce pretty big 
exe), I'm sure it can keep your releases forever.

Hi Ilya, you can download the vsix for testing from the github repository

It seems like on mouseover over colour_map preview pops up, having 
"Edit" in there. Also there is "Color Mixer" icon close to "Render" one 
in right top area (at least for me it's right), but it seems to start 
insertion rather than editing.
