Compiling Therion projects from Notepad++
by Footleg 08 Jan '15

I find having multiple thconfig files open so I can compile different parts of my large cave system project very useful. So I was investgating how to run Therion from Notepad++ (my preferred text editor). This is how I got it working: I wrote a 2 line batch file containing these commands: cd %1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe" %2 Saved to somewhere on disk, and then call it from Notepad++ using the Run command, as follows: On the Run menu in Notepad++, Select the 'Run' item, and enter the command as follows: "C:\Personal\Caving\Therion\compileTherion.bat" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(FILE_NAME)" (But using the path to where you saved your batch file). Save the command (I called it 'Compile Therion' and gave it the shortcut CTRL+T). Now with any thconfig file open in a tab in Notepad++, I can compile that project by pressing CTRL+T, or by selecting 'Compile Therion' from the Run menu. You can create multiple thconfig files in the same folder on Windows, by giving them any filename you want with the extension .thc or give them no extension at all. That way all the files will be listed in the 'Open File' dialog from the compile tab in xTherion. Next I'll see if I can get my batch file to open the output PDF automatically in Foxit Reader :) But that will be less general because I need to pick a PDF filename which can vary between my thconfig files.

wxWidgets 3.0.0
by Olly Betts 14 Jun '14

I've been fighting to get loch to work with wxWidgets 3.0.0. The first obstacle is that they now enable __WXDEBUG__ mode by default, so misuses of the API result in warning dialogs popping up. I've attached a patch which fixes that, and updates a couple of places where deprecated methods are used. This doesn't get you a fully working loch though - starting loch and loading a file seems to work OK, *if* loch was compiled with optimisation. Starting loch with a file specified on the command line segfaults in the first call to gluScaleImage() in lxData.cxx, though it works when run under gdb or valgrind, so I guess there is a subtle timing issue (and that this might not happen on all machines). There are also more uses of deprecated methods, most notably using an implicit wxGLContext is now deprecated. I tried to update that one, but things seemed to crash a lot - I suspect the underlying problem noted above needs addressing first. I've been testing on Debian unstable (which has packages of wx 3.0.0). Cheers, Olly

Feature for the wish list
by Andrew Atkinson 31 Jan '14

Hello Just been working on some complicated surveys, and inevitably when surveying new passage in the cave you draw a cross section and then the new cave goes over it, or even over itself. It strikes me that in xtherion you can hide images, I think that it would be really useful if scraps could be hidden then you could draw one scrap then hide it and draw the scrap that is under it. Currently I import the image twice and draw it displaced, but that has the disadvantage that the scraps do not automatically join. It is very minor, but if easy to do would be a really useful feature thanks Andrew

Compatibility with Survex
by Graham Mullan 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

In the latest project in which I am involved, I am having to import data from Survex (actually from Compass via Survex but that's another story!). This requires importing survex 3d files. The problem that I have is that .3d files generated in the most recent iterations of Survex cannot be read by Therion. I had the same problem some years back & eventually they caught up with each other, but it seems that the Survex format has changed too much once again. Can this be rectified, please 'cos it's a pain in the bum. Graham
