There is a way to work around this outside of Moray. You can run more than
one instance of POV-Ray if you go to the options menu in the POV-Ray editor
and uncheck the option for "keep single instance". You could then do your
actual render directly with in POV-Ray itself, then use Moray to start
another render of your new scene development or for such things as rendering
your materials thumbnails. Doing it this way may cause Moray to be sluggish
or even unresponsive at times, and the render times in POV-Ray will surely
suffer too, but if this is what you want to do it is not impossible to do
so.
