Hi all,
	I'm somewhat familiar and used to the windows POV editor, and I'm just 
starting to get comfortable with it in Linux. I'm using QTPov, and I've 
also tried Pyvon. But as images are rendered by POV, the preview window 
disappears as soon as the render is finished. Is there a way to keep 
that preview window up? I looked at the POV command switches briefly but 
didn't see anything that looked like it changed this, please forgive me 
if the solution is blatantly obvious. If there isn't, is there a good 
way to view changing rendered images during testing?

Thanks a lot,
	Ryan

Hehe, I tried -p because I'm getting so used to *nix command switches. 
Thanks

I see you've discovered +P (which has been with us since DKBTrace), but you
may also like to know that Mozilla can display partial .png files, which is
handy if you're using the -D option. The GIMP can also load partial .png
files, but I find the Gimp takes much longer to start up than Mozilla.
