Hello,

I hope this is of some help to know about. I have noticed that if I
cut and paste a POV-Ray scene into the editor, the color syntax
highlighting fails to operate on the newly created file.

Try this:

1) Open a valid POV file in the windows editor

2) "Select-All" and copy to the windows clip board

3) Click "File-New File" to create a new file

4) Paste the clipboard contents into the new file

5) Save the new file with a typical POV extension

6) Notice that the new file has no color highlighting

7) Close the file and reopen - still no highlights

8) Close POV and reload it - that file is still the same

9) Reboot computer and retry - the file is still the same


Both files will have seemingly identical information stored in them,
but only the first one is color highlighted. Why?

I first learned of this by inserting the "Ready-made scene" named
"Basic Scene" into an empty and newly created file in the editor.
Doing this caused no highlighting. I saved the file with an
appropriate name, and still no highlighting. It is still black and
white no matter what I try. Is this to be expected? Perhaps this is a
"feature" of CodeMax. If so, I need to find out how to work around it.

Thanks for your time,
Glen Berry
