I checked out revision 8510 from SVN and tested it:

1) Povray export with draw objects (translucent or opaque) showed the
same problem as before. But since I have found the Jmol Java Console
(unexpectedly) in the Help menu of the application (starting with a size
of 10x28 pixel!?) I can provide now the error message:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.jmol.export.Export3D.drawStringNoSlab(Unknown Source)
        at org.jmol.export.Export3D.drawString(Unknown Source)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)

2) Povray export without draw objects worked well. I got the ".pov" and
".ini" file and after starting povray with ".ini" file as parameter I
got a PNG file of the expected size.

3) Povray export using the dialog didn't start povray any more (option
is checked). There was written a ".pov" file but no ".ini" file.

4) Antialiasing worked now in the application, although I didn't notice
any quality difference with the (translucent) draw objects. But the
(translucent) draw objects are all drawn in front of the other objects
with antialiasing. You can see an example at
"http://www.fli-leibniz.de/~rhuehne/1DEH-no_antialiasing.jpg"; and
"http://www.fli-leibniz.de/~rhuehne/1DEH-antialiasing.jpg";.

5) Image export with the applet still ignores the "antialiasImages" setting.

Rolf
