Re: [therion] xtherion.ini not found

On my debian box: $THERION is not set, even if Xtherion is running (echo $THERION shows nothing) xtherion ini is on ~/src/therion/xtherion/xtherion.ini. No search for xtherion.ini seems to be done in xtherion directory. So, after editing xtherion.ini, I need to move it manually under /etc. Else, Xtherion runs with default values since .ini file is not found. I think it should be made by "make install" automatically Regards, Roman On Thu, 03 Mar 2005 11:44:29 +0100 Stacho Mudrak <s.m(a)speleo.sk> wrote: >>> > So main concern is wether it's possible to get pop-up strings >>> > inactive, may be by clicking some checkbutton or so. > >> >> There should be some balloon item in xtherion.ini.

therion 0.3.6 in debian testing
by Wookey 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi guys - after some bother with Therion getting thrown out of the soon-to-be released version of Debian due to build machine problems, v0.3.6 is now back in, so it will be released as part of the standard distribution when we finally get round to releasing it :-) Just so you know. There may well be time to get the next 0.3.7 release in as well, which would be handy for the Spaniards as there is so much Debian-based Linux in Spain and 0.3.7 will have the internationalisation and spanish translations. We'll see how it goes. Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://www.chaos.org.uk/~wookey/

preliminary text
by Roman Muñoz 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi all, I wrote a preliminary text about therion on "english" It is not finished, but I would get some feedback. So, if you have a little bit of spare time, you could visit http://www.infonegocio.com/tatel/therion_for_cavers.txt and drop a word about it on the list. Gramatical corrections will be welcome ;-) I know, this will be on wiki... when finished. Cheers, Roman

May be adding translation line right above the list box would be better (at least you will not need to focus your eyes on the oposite corner of the screen). Also translation of list-box items should be possible. The only problem is - that options line can not be translated this way - therefore there will be still mixed english with some local language. May be another solution that is already in the TODO list wuld help (Wookey asked for it). Add context menu when right clicked on point/station. Via this menu - a type and most common options (like alignment, text, value) could be selected. This could be then translated. > b) I can't see types in xtext* file.

Somewhat like "To activate user interface, open existing > file or create new one" Should be no problem.

The best way how to do it is to add en translation - not to modify source files. So just export empty xtexts_en.txt file and you can fill all strings you want. > f) I'm planning to do my writing in "english" too, and put both versions > on wiki after 0.3.7 release Thanks, S.

next dumb question

Most probably image was being not visualized at 100 % when I dumped the screen. Dumped .pnm files are at 100x97 resolution. New images are actually smaller than xvi one, but I think this is not therion-related ;-) Dragging background images: I like it a lot. Thanks. Next dumb question: what about extended elevation? To use "extend" option in centerline is enough? Do I need have some scrap with projection "extended"? Could LRUD data be used in map editor? Best regards, Roman

There are two important changes in latest snapshot: * import command can exist outside survey - endsurvey pair. Stations and shots outside survey context will not be imported. * in layout - code tex-map/atlas, there are supported international characters. So currently following stuff will work as expected code tex-map \cavename={Jaskyňa mŕtvych netopierov} endcode Regards, S.

wiki examples
by Roman Muñoz 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi, When I enter wiki's examples page, my firefox begin to load something HUGE. I can hear disk cache working as an exploited slave. It takes some minutes to load (I'm on 512 Kb *DSL); after this, each time I scroll the page, cache starts working again. Thus it is, in practice, allmost unusable. I guess this is a matter of big pictures? Regards, Roman
