I don't know features of current Visual C IDE but you can probably configure
one entry in menu or one icon on tool bar to handle current pov filename
(let's imagine it is scene.pov), look for newest file in its directory with
mask (scene*.png,scene*.tga,scene*.bmp etc.) and display it with tool like
irfanview or something similiar. This tool should be ready to open not
finished files without exclusive lock. I have never tested such solution since
pov editor is just fine for me.
