Heh...  Not if you place the POV file types at the "top" of the list.

Seriously though, this isn't worth arguing about. I truly appreciate
all your efforts on POV-Ray, but it's clear you don't want to add this
small feature. I can live with that.

That's certainly fair. I appreciate the addition of ".mcr" to the list
of  recognized file types. 

I also want to make sure you realize how much we all appreciate
POV-Ray, and all the hard work that you, and all the other team

Thanks for listening,
