A couple of years ago I stumbled on the "Wish Application" that installs with Therion, and its behaviour, that is to open the XTherion editor in the correct mode as described in http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=windows I'm not sure if this feature is part of the therion package 'by design' or 'by accident', but it has always worked for me with Windows XP. Yesterday I tried to implement it on a Windows 7 OS and was thwarted always by an error dialog that suggested Windows 7 was trying to interpret the thconfig-*.* file as a script to be executed. The error message was along the lines of 'encoding utf-8 bad command on line 1, expecting etc etc .' I could not figure out what application was trying to run the file as a script, and the XP compatibility feature did not seem to offer a likely solution. Can anyone offer any advice as to whether I should be using the 'Wish Application' in this way or of a likely resolution to the problem I'm having running it in Windows 7? Regards Bruce
