I would like to suggest to make a switch or a check box for adding or not
the standard POV-Ray include files to the material output files. It would
free some memory and reduce parsing time, especially when multiple mesh
models are loaded into the same scene.
Logical place would be the /POV-Ray Output/Export/Scene/ block, I believe.

Are you talking about PoseRay, Thomas?

Seems like a reasonable option. I will add it. Right now the includes
are added if a POV-Ray custom material is typed in PoseRay instead of
using the basic material. With the option the following block of code
will be toggled at the top of the materials file:
#include "textures.inc"
#include "stones.inc"
#include "metals.inc"
#include "finish.inc"
#include "golds.inc"
#include "stars.inc"
#include "woods.inc"
#include "skies.inc"
#include "glass.inc"
There is also a set of functions that PoseRay uses for the materials. I
am still debating including them as a separate file or just adding them
to the top of the material file.

Hmm... Doesn't seem to work correctly. Both checked or unchecked, the
includes are showing up in the material file...

I have tested more in detail the new *includes* tick box in Poseray 3.13.8
beta, but it does indeed not work correctly. As soon as the POV-Ray Custom
Materials are used, the following standard includes
//Include files that may be needed by POV-Ray materials...
#include "stdinc.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#include "stones.inc"
#include "metals.inc"
#include "finish.inc"
#include "golds.inc"
#include "stars.inc"
#include "woods.inc"
#include "skies.inc"
#include "glass.inc"
are downloaded to the object's material file in POV-Ray, whether the *Add
standard includes to the material file* is ticked or not. They should - of
course - be downloaded only if the box is ticked.

It was certainly broken. Thanks for the bug report. I uploaded an
updated beta.
