There is a bug in xtherion 5.5.7, at least in the debian build I am using (therion 5.5.7ds1-2).
If you try to open a thconfig file, you get an error:
"thconfig.thcfg does not exist".
Fortunately you can run 'xtherion thconfig' and that works, otherwise xtherion would be completely broken unless you renamed all your thconfig files.
There is a workaround, though. If you change 'Files of type:' to 'All files (*)' in the Open dialog, opening the 'thconfig' file works.
This seems a fairly fundamental bug - I'm surprised it's not come up before.
I'm quite sure it used to work some time ago and there was no change in xtherion source in this respect, so I guess something had to change in the tcl/tk library in Debian. The version of tcl/tk used for the windows installer doesn't have this bug.
This is now in the version in Debian stable, so people will be getting it for the next 2 years, which is somewhat embarassing. Hopefully we can declare it bad enough to get a fix in.
Or backport 6.0.2+ ;)
I've not looked into the code yet for a fix, but can someone confirm this is not just me?
Confirmed. Stacho has already fixed it in the master branch. M.
