Thanks,

Do you have an example, url?, of this?. Because it's way better then the
backup plan I was having, Namely:

Tempary replacing the main ini file of povray where it holds the menu
driven queue of pov files.

Still better than restarting, focus steeling, pov-ray 1500 times :)

PS: The pov files are part of an animation but that animation is
completly generated by my host application, I am exporting the .pov
files via l3p.

Secondly, is there any way i can let pov-ray render a queue of about
1500 .pov files from the command line, without restarting the program
all the time (e.g. via a .bat).



On second thoughts, you can do this in POV-Ray, without the use of a
.BAT file.


What you need to do is simply to make a dummy .POV file in which you put
an indexed table of your 1500 .POV files.  Then you put som code into
this dummy file which includes file number i (from the table) at clock
time i.  Then execute POV-Ray, telling it to render the dummy file with
the animation clock ranging from 1 to 1500 in 1500 steps.  And hey,
presto, Bob's your uncle etc.
