Please see here my idea for the POV-Ray internal scene editor.

Large scenes are not easy to oversee. A very useful feature would be, if the 
editor could recognize "sections" inside a scene file, and lists them in a 
combo box (drop-down menu).

Such a section could easily defined by the user:

// [Cameras]

or

// [ Modules]

or

// [Arrangements of the Modules]

You get the idea! The // ensures that the scene code never will distobed by 
error messages. However the [] indicates to the editor to list that term as 
a section position.

If the user selects such a section, the editor shows that position. Very 
easy and simple to add to the editor. No scene changes required to prevent 
errors.Just an easy upgrade, an add-on.

I know you all love my idea. Just say it. Just do it.

Oh! Oh! Just another great and useful idea: the editor also reads the 
INCLUDES, and adds them, as well, to another combo box. That allows easiest 
and fastest openening of those related files in the editor...

Best greetings,

Sven
