Is there a english version available? I don't understand french.

Hmm, I will start to create a new layout myself.
Jérémie seems to be quite busy, too.

Not in KDE 3.2, we are in a feature freeze right now.
I will add it to my TODO list.

The control points are displayed in a table in the cvs version. You can select 
control points by selecting a row in the table and the current selection is 
shown in the table when selecting control points in the wire frame view.

Every object and camera has now an "export" flag. You can deactivate cameras 
by unchecking this flag.

Povray uses always the first or last camera to render a scene, and I will 
export the cameras in the order inside the scene.
