PS maps do not work on initials run, as all the th2 file has is empty scale. Shame it causes a fatal error, it would be nice if it was just a warning that nothing could be produced, but in my default file I just have the map export commented out

OK I could not resist after a weekends action packed surveying.

 

Learning to use software that crashed for me but held the promise of an instant transfer was less daunting than manually transferring 5 top files into therion.

Your clarifications of the instructions must be OK cos I got the files to go where I expected first try (apart from a typo I made that copied the raw files into the wrong place – lucky I didn’t blindly add those to my repository-seems to be a dangerous feature)

 

Hope 1.2.3 produces accurate files Andrew, cos it looks like its progeny are going into my live project.

The problems I was having with it not running therion and survex were due to the paths – my therion is on the D: drive – my oversight.

 

Have attached the log file – seems to have a lot of debugging going on? And seems to indicate it has stopped mid process, although it did everything I expected.

I still cannot use the map export pdf from the thconfig topparser produces – strange metapost type crash it seems so may be nothing to do with topparser.  All my other projects OK.

 

A feature request (from a cautious new user).

I wouldn’t mind the ability to create a backup dump like PocketTopo’s ‘export text’ and ‘export therion’ and have them place in the ‘raw’ folder.  Are you able to include a script to get PocketTopo to do that without user intervention? (I’m assuming coding topparser to imitate those is a lot of work and would involve a long testing period to be sure that faithful reproductions of the formats were being produced).
