My mulu dataset which worked OK with 0.2.18 gives: therion: warning -- thconfig [7] -- no selected projection data -- plan
We've changed the behaviour of "select" command. If there is
OK, thanx
You've probably not noticed "Show" button in the area control :)))
Ah, yes - that's better, although it would still be good if an 'area' search 'pushed' this button automatically then it would seem like searching for other items (they highlight when found).
This behaviour I "can not" change (I was also wondering). This is because of BWidgets. You have to move "underlined cursor" to desired position and press "Space". I'll look at it.
ah - another useful key. Here's a thing for the wishlist - add a list of keys to the help menu - that would help users a lot as they are easy to forget.
What is the intended use of Rock-edge and rock border?
rock-border is the outer border, rock-edge marks edges inside a large block (is usually omited in smaller blocks)
... and in the new version, if the rock border will be closed-line - it will be filled with background color and overlap all items below. Like this, you'll be able to draw rocks on some area (sand, debris, water) also.
ahh - excellent.
Also 'pit' is 'pitch' in UK english - only American's call them pits. Indeed UK and US caving english are quite different, if Therion takes account of translations - that's why survex has en-gb and en-us translations.
OK, I've added it into output en_UK translation (to the legend). It would be also very easy to add it into input parsing table, but I'm not sure, whether it makes sense (a lot of equivalents can lead to chaos). You have to decide (at least, we support centreline/centerline so I think pitch/pit could be also supported, because pitch is quite important. But I'm not sure about popcorn (cauliflowercalcite in UIS signatures :)) or other items like that...
You are right that this is tricky. Normally it would be best to say 'the format is the format' and it's only in one language. However in this application a lot of the spelling and syntax is exposed to the user (entering options for example), so 'foreign' spellings are a problem (I remember once spending hours wondering why <CENTRE> didn't work in my HTML - it has to be <CENTER>, of course). Therion users are likley to have similar problems but I agree that trying to enter every translation into the syntax is a mistake. Some of the UIS names are a bit odd to any english speaker - they are 'swiss english' :-) Allowing alternatives for 'really common' items probably makes sense, but no more, and hiding things behind translatable widgets is also a good idea in this context.
