Currently, you can only export them to POV-Ray. It would be nice to be able to
set them as well to get a sort of preview before a final render.

I also think it would be cool if you could store camera settings for future use.
For instance, a "bookmarks" menu where you can select from among one or several
saved camera settings.

My 2 cents.

I'll keep it in mind.


Some more requests while I'm at it.

You currently have a camera mode that limits the "Examine mode" to exactly
horizontal and vertical movement. If you could do something similar for the
"Fly-through mode", such that regardless of where the camera is pointed movement
is always parallel to the ground plane, that would be great.

My development code has a new feature that will be in LDView 4.2 called "Keep
Right Side Up".  When in fly-through mode, if you enable this feature, the
camera isn't allowed to roll side to side at all.  However, it still can tilt
forward and backwards.  It's not what you're requesting, but it does make
fly-through mode a lot easier to use.  What you're requesting sounds more like
"walk-through mode".  I'll consider that also.


Also, if you could add a small dialog that tells the current polygon count, it
would be great too.

I can see how that might be useful.
