I think there were at least two issues raised in this thread, discussed below.
This bug should be also fixed now in 5.3.8. If not, please let me know. S.
also noticed that splay shots are used for the "depth". it might make sense, but i rather have the depth computed with the survey shots only.
One My informal comparison of 5.3.8 outputs with 5.3.7 suggests that depth is now likely to be accounting for only the centreline survey shots, which I like (although this could perhaps one day be a user selectable option-both are useful for differing purposes?).
To my way of thinking, splay shots are not part of the survey length (and therefore should not be duplicate either), they are analogous to LRUD. IF they are to be reported, they should be separately reported as 'total splay length' and 'number of splay stations' (could be further broken down into 'surface splays' and 'cave splays' if one was being picky).
If there were to be a compromise for the sake of simplicity I would prefer that therion exclude splay information from all the reported statistics (as it ignores LRUD, which are really just special splay shots),

Maybe this is what is wanted, but I personally think that the duplicate value should be the amount taken off the length by the duplicate flag? Maybe 2 figures would be better, duplicate length and duplicate splays.

Two It seems to me that the splay shot statistics are still mixed in with the centreline statistics- ie no change between 5.3.7 and 5.3.8. Perhaps this was not the 'bug' referred to above, and I suspect it might require a lot of work, but deserves consideration I think.
