Has anyone set up Moray to run with Pov 3.7? I've tried and I can't 
I really want to run it with Bishop3D which uses an entry in
pvengine.ini like Moray does. But the revision.txt says "remove last
vestiges of pvengine.ini support (with exception for compatibility in
GUIEXT and Move pvtools.ini to logged-in user's Application
Data\POV-Ray for Windows directory.)" so I assumed that Ver 3.7 uses
pvengine.ini for that. But where does it look for it? I installed Ver
3.6 in C:\Graphics\Pov... and there was no entry in user's Application
Data\POV- ...
Where should the unzipped files from the Beta go?
Any help will be appreciated.

To install the beta, create a new folder. It can be there by itself in the main 
POV-Ray folder, or as a subfolder in the bin folder. unzip the files to that 
folder. Create a shortcut to the beta version.
You can now use either the regular 3.6.1 or the 3.7 beta version. When a new 
beta get available, overwrite the old beta with the new one.
It's importent that you keep all the files from the regular release as the are.

POV-Ray 3.7 no longer use the "pvengine.ini" file. Those settings have been 
moved to the registry.

Thanks, I've done that Alain and can get Pov-Ray to run, it whizzes
using both cores :)

Since I want to use the GUI extensions I take it that I should
manually edit the registry?
What should the values be? My current ones are: 

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3974771696-4222137879-3656950552-1000\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\GUIExtensions]
"UseExtensions"=dword:00000001

And 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\GUIExtensions]
"UseExtensions"=dword:00000001

Name	Type	Data
Default	REG_SZ	(Value not set
UseExtensions	REG_DWORD	1

Look also for:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\General
All the values listed. You'll see that they match the entries of pvengine.ini.

This is where the settings are saved.

Well I did and could find nothing for GUI extensions or
PrimaryINIFILE. I downloaded Moray and Pov 3.5 and can get Moray to
start 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 although 3.7 hung as did Moray but at least it
started. Do you have any settings for the GUI or PrimaryINIFILE (I
think that's what it might be called as I can see SecondaryINIFile in
General and no entries in GUIExtensions)

I worked it out :)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\Windows\Engine\GUIExtensions]
"UseExtensions"=dword:00000001
"ExtDLL18"="C:\\Graphics\\Bishop3D\\Bishop3DPovComm.dll"

I have to start Pov-Ray first and the OpenGl doesn't update in the
modeller but it will render with both cores Hmm! :)

Thanks for your help Alain
