Thank you!

I'm running v3.7.0.9 Intel 64-bit on macOS Ventura 13.3.1.

Can I please ask if there is a way to keep the editor's colours in "light mode"
when the system is in "dark mode"? I find it hard to read code when the editor
is in dark mode.

Thanks again!

There is a little bug in 3.7.x in dark mode. 
The text color is set to black but should be system text color.
3.8 is fine however.

I'll try to upload a new version soon.

Hi Yvo,  I downloaded the build for my M2.  It won't run, and the dialog states:


malicious software."  Then in the second paragraph:

"This software needs to be updated.  Contact the developer for more
information."

I'm on Ventura 13.6.6. Do you have any ideas how to get this to work?

Thanks!

Normaly you should get another dialog to open the app.
I no longer have a developer ID but it is safe to open if you dowload

If it still doesn't work, please e-mail me direct and I'll see what i can do.

There is a report that your 3.8.0 beta 2 has no EXR capability.  Could you
please check that?  If this is indeed the case, could you please check that the
OpenEXR *developer* library is installed on your system?  I know from experience
that POV-Ray will compile cleanly on GNU/Linux with the EXR and SDL libraries
missing, and it may be the same on the Mac.

I suspect your 3.7.0.9 may also have the same omission.

No OpenEXR lib installed on my system.

I also think that the “unofficial” version compiled by Yvo does not take 
into account the exr. The Mac version does not accurately reflect the 
official versions of Povray nor is it a "linux version".

And effectively, there is the same issue with version 3.7 (r4 in my case).




Thank you for your help, Richard.

to follow up on this story:

On the <http://megapov.inetart.net/povrayunofficial_mac/alphapov.html> 
web page, i downloaded the source for 
"PovRayUnofficial_3.8.0-alpha.10013324-avx" XCode 10 project (XCode is a 
standard IDE).

The last update to this page was on January 15, 2019, which is quite 
some time ago but the project for POVRay has the same structure.

I have included a screenshot of a project window. It clearly shows the 
libraries used: zlib, tiff,... and openexr. We can therefore assume that 
OpenEXR is supported.

I tried to compile the project as is, but I got miles of errors, and to 
make matters worse, the project is version 10, while we are on version 16.

There are a lot of corrections to be made just to adapt the project, and 
I'm not at all comfortable with all of this.


There are compilation errors in the _stdio.h file, which is part of the 
original SDK. I have a feeling this is going to be complicated.

fwiw, not a useful choice.  as I recall, clipka abandoned ("rolled back" from)
the alphas past 9945627.
