Dialog box:

+--------------------------------------+
|Save before render                    |
+--------------------------------------+
|  File 'Foo.pov' has changed - save ? |
|Don't ask again (during this session) |
|  Yes   All   No   Cancel             |
+--------------------------------------+

Is there any way to disable permanently this dialog box? Ie. to make POV-Ray 
always save the current file before rendering it.

Sorry if the answer is in the doc., I didn't found it.

Yes, save the file before starting the render. That will disable that dialog box.

Haha, why didn't I thought of it? Silly me.
I wonder why the GUI authors went into the trouble to add the option not to 
ask again during this session, while the workaround is so simple.
