I guess I should announce these here...
* Bug 12 - Mosaic preview doesn't draw the preview
* Bug 7 - When the render window is undocked, allow it to not always
be on top.
* Bug 4 - If no file is selected for render, then render the currently
displayed tab.

How about povray.unofficial.patches?
The rationale being that it is not just an arbitrary tool that works /in
combination with/ official POV-Ray, but rather a /replacement/ for the
official POV-Ray application itself.

Assuming that means bugs were fixed and new features were added.
Whee! :)
I'll see if I can take a look tonight. Thanks so much as always

Yes, one bug fix, two new features. But everything is a bug now, even
if its severity classification is "enhancement".

Undocked not on top was fun. I had to create a new "parentless" window,
copy the graphic into it and delete the dock window. I expected more
grief from Qt than it gave me.
Updated docs (included with qtpovray):
Render window undocked:

I wanted to write more about the new "soft select" render file:

So, I started a render, and somehow the render window was undocked already, and
it was UNDER the main window - heh.
But now it's stuck in the old behaviour of always being on top :(

I deselected the file that had the little green arrow (confusing language in
right-click popup for that) and it wouldn't render anything, claiming nothing
was selected for render. :(
Let me know how you'd like me to proceed and what data I can collect for you.

Yes, I see this too. Not a nice default. :)

This I can't duplicate. So when you try the context menu, does the text
change? It should toggle between "Always on top" and "Reenable docking".

This I also can't duplicate.
When you deselect the file , do you get a little blue arrow? It should
point to the currently selected tab/file currently on top in the editor.
Can you send me a screenshot of this?
I'm open to suggestions for different text other than "Remove render". I
guess "Deselect render" is better.

Perhaps a future improvement would be the "get focus on render" that works
(sometimes) in Windows.

Context.... menu....
When it's docked and I right click on it, I get "refresh delay"
When it's undocked, I get "resize to 1024 x 768" and "refresh delay"
I don't see any other options, or anything in the menu hierarchy.
(I have Xfce desktop instead of Cinnamon, if that somehow makes a difference)

Nope.

Once I figure out how --- Yes.

Deselect render is better, though with the new dual-behaviour, perhaps "set as
default / override file to render" and "switch to tab-controlled render" would
be better. I don't think the space for that is that limited...
( One thing I have often thought of having for POV-Ray is having the render
window contents reflect what tab is selected. So if a tab has already been
rendered, then display that latest render - if not, display --- nothing, POV-Ray
logo, the transparent checkerboard pattern, or a custom image. )
