Hi!
The short:
Povray RC3 on Windows: Large SDL files take ages to save.
Megapov frontend with RC3 on OSX: Large SDL files crash the program while
saving.
Any Solutions?
The Long:
I'm working with Povray RC3 on both, MAC and Windws 7 machines and have one big
problem. I deal with huge sdl scripts generated by third party converters. The
built in Editor in the Windows version is very (very very very) slow when it
comes to saving large sdl files (100 mega byte +). It loads the stuff very
swiftly but after I make changes and save it it can take minutes (they seem like
years). Out of desperation I'm using a regular text-editor (pfe, "Programmers
File Editor") as a workaround which saves any file size within 2-3 seconds!. On
the Mac I'm using RC3 in the Mega-Pov application. On Mega-Pov for MAC
unfortunately it is absolutely impossible to write these large files to disk.
The program simply stalls and i have to force quit it. I love the editors built
into the povray front end for their syntax highlighting and their really helpful
tools! Both, Povray and MegaPov. Anyone have an idea how I could work with large
files! Have been searching for a alternative Editor that supports povray syntax
highlighting on both MAC and Windows but with no result.
Any suggestions ar much appreciated!!
Andi

No experience with large files, but I remember some of the Linux editors like
KATE worked pretty well with some povray syntax highlighting.

VIM runs everywhere. It takes some practice to get used to it, but it's
quite effective once you do. Emacs is also available everywhere AFAIK, and
it's also quite powerful.

I'm not sure if the format is compatible with the editors the others
have mentioned, but there's an up to date file in p.b.utilities "new
syntax highlighting for gedit"

I use emacs for programming in all three major systems (linux, windows,
mac os x), and once configured properly it works like a marvel. There exists
a highlight configuration file for POV-Ray files somewhere floating on the
net.

I guess no one can resist the temptation to participate on a "text
editor war"... :)
In my case, I always edit big meshes exported by Poseray with SciTe.
From the ones I tried, it's the fastest one reaching the end of the file
(which is what I usually need, to edit or cut the meshes instances).

+1 for SCiTE, which I think I started using after reading Jaime's
website a few years ago in fact. The Ctrl+D functionality I haven't been
able to find in any other editor (cross-platform at least), and it
starts basically as fast as notepad (before Vista bloated it). There's a
long list of other things I like too.
Of course the newest syntax introduced in 3.7 isn't highlighted yet, but
I assume the parser can be edited to add them since it's all open source.

Ctrl+D is duplicate current line, in scite, for the wondering minds.
I can just keep my 3 or 4 key sequence in my editor: (Esc) y y p
Can you guess it's main name ?

Software is like dirt - it costs time and money to change it and move it
around.
Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.

Technically it duplicates any lines that are at least partially
selected, or the current line if there is no selection.
You use Escape-Meta-Alt-Ctrl-Shift I see.
