Ah, OK. So I thought the problem was that it couldn't find file, but what you are saying is that the .th2 files loaded is irrelevant, and doing 'compile' just runs wahtever the thconfig file says?
Exactly.
the file loaded in the map-editor (if it is not mentioned). This is a bit of a problem if you loaded the wrong thconfig file (as I did above), but I'm not sure what should be done about it. Maybe a warning about 'unused file in map editor - is that what you wanted?'?
May be. In any case, if you know what happens, than it is not so bad error.
In any case, the compilation process needs to be changed. I am preparing new arrangement, but it will take some time.
It does? I don't have a particular problem with it at the moment.
OK, I would like to have editor of configuration files in the therion text editor (I think this is more correct). I have also added checking of time-stamps in text and map editor (to avoid problems of using external editors), but I was not able to do it in compiler (this text editor is not standard). But I am only thinking about it, I am working on different things.
inserting line points happens _after_ the current point inserting file entries happens _before_ the current line
However this is perhaps a very large change in the internals with only a small gain for users. I can live with it, but I do think it adds to the things that make therion confusing to use.
OK, in the 0.3.5 version, symbols should never be inserted outside of scrap just by mistake. With all symbols with exception of rock-border and edges (and stations in extended-elevation), you do not need to take care of their order. So probably users will not have huge problems in the future.
But if we just explain about the ordering (especially for rocks - what else does it affect?), that will be enough to let people use it.
I think also. Somebody should write it down to tips and tricks :)
OK, I can change it that new scraps will be inserted before current scrap.
after :-)
OK after or if it will be too difficult, at the end of file.
Check to tell you you are entering line outside a scrap would be good.
OK, but I hate error windows, I have to click OK every time. Would a beep be enought?
A beep and a message in the status area (where it says 'select object', 'drawing line', etc).
OK
OK - but they look exactly the same in the UIS symbol set. I actually want to use the 'border' type line for floor-step. I will have to try to fine-tune my output,one thing I have not yet messed with.
try following two lines in your layout: code metapost let l_floorstep = l_border_visible_SKBB;
But it is important to record the things that annoy me, before I get used to them and forget that they are a problem when starting out.
Yes. I will translate TODO.S file into english a little bit :) .
I'm very happy to provide feedback. Despite all my complaining, I think therion is very good, or at least will be good one day when it is a bit more finished. :-)
Thanks, S.
