I saw many things that seemed wrong to me.
GUI means Graphical User Interface. It is a program that can be called by
POV to provide some user-friendly interface. I guess this could apply to a
modeller or something like that.
Hope this helps,

I am reasonably sure that the GUI-Extensions are capabilities that can
be added by third party developers. The source code is available in the
archives. The documentation should be there for how to add your own
special capabilities to the Windows interface. Probably you would create
a DLL which conforms to some special set of rules, then somehow register
that DLL with POV. When you run POV's Windows front-end it would
recognize this extension and it would show up in the menu under
GUI-Extensions.
Just a guess.

Shortly after Pov 3 was released there was a PovTeam announcement
that a mailing list would be formed for parties interested in writing extensions.
I expressed interest in that but nothing seemed to ever have happened.
Maybe it is something reserved to the Compuserve Forun?

If that is the case, I am truly unhappy about that.. I do NOT have a
compuserve account, and I really do NOT have the money OR inclination to get
one.

Maybe a new newsgroup needs to be added, here?
Check out the source file: POV/povray3/source/windows/guiext/guidemo.c
from the source code archive. That file seems to have the most
information about extensions.

Indeed such a list was created. About 5 people joined it. I posted a message on
it asking the members for their opinions about development options. No-one even
replied.
The list existed up until about two months ago when it got nuked without a
single message (apart from my own) ever having been posted on it.

I read the message announcing the list and responded to it in
c.g.r.r. - somehow I must have missed any follow-up indicating
how to join the list because I never was a member of that list.
I believe the interest exists for discussing the topic of GUI
extensions. Maybe povray.windows.gui-extensions ?

The Only GUI extension I have seen on my Windows box is one for Texture
View...
basically, you create a collection of textures in TV, then tell it to render,
and it will launch POV-Ray, then instead of spitting the image out in POV-Ray,
the rendered image appears in Texture View. The about box states that it was
created by Friedemann Schmidt and his url is

Moray also uses a GUI extension, just allows other programs to "talk" to
povray
