Sorry for the delay, but last weeks I have been a little bit busy.
Yes, thus would be helpful. Naturaly, I did a backup by hand, after the crash yesterday, but it means doing it each time you change significantly the config file, add a layout, etc.
I have added backup of thconfig files to xtherion, just install the latest snapshot. Until I will have more time to find where the problem is, I think this will be a solution. I have tried to reproduce this error, but without success.
By the way, why is it forbidden to have the layout definitions in the main the file, or in another "input" file ?
It was one of the ideas in the beginning of therion: Input files should be abstract description of the cave. Layout is something, what is not measured in the cave and should be separated from the data. I am not sure, whether this is correct now and I would like to add some possibility to enter input directly in the configuration files. S.
