Stacho Further to the untrapped error I mentioned last week… Looks like it is counting scraps correctly. The following statements… statistics carto all statistics carto-count hide (or on or off) … work perfectly. One thing that does seem to be a problem however. The syntax… statistics <explo/topo/carto/copyright> number … is giving me problems. They all seem to result in what seems to be an untrapped error, and truncating the therion.log file in random locations. For example this is what I have been trying… statistics topo 10 statistics topo-length hide I checked with the previous recent version, 552f923 and after removing all the carto-count statements, I get the same behaviour, an untrapped error. So I think the carto-count is working perfectly and I have just unearthed a different problem. Having left the problem for a few days (and rebooting a number of times) I thought I’d try my ‘top 10’ statistics layout (as in the attached LayoutStatisticsReporting.thc file). I ran my thconfig a number of times. For a given input, the point at which the log file truncates seems to be consistent. The file log5 is what I get with a successful compile with all of the statistics. The file log1 is what statistics <whatever> 10 gives me. Thinking that the scraps reported near either side of the log file truncation might be associated, I commented them out of the map. The file log04 shows what happens then – the truncation just occurs a few more characters along the file. Bruce
