I also set this option as soon as I saw it. In fact the language
option was set to POV-Ray before I created or loaded the first file. I
never expected for a nanosecond that when I created a new file and
saved it with a ".pov" extension that the program wouldn't recognize
it automatically as a pov syntax file. Afterall, the docs claim that
POV automatically detects ".pov" files by their extension, but the
current build of POV doesn't automatically recognize a *newly created*
pov file, due to a small bug. It has to drop off the MRU list to be
recognized automatically in the current build. That is the problem.
Thankfully, it is a small thing and Chris says it is fixed in the next
version.
