In most cases it does, but if the points in a line are too many it still leaves more points than I would like. And some remaining points are still very close together because the line segment had some micro-curves that the Bezier lines tries to preserve.
In other cases "Conver to curve" doesn't work and does nothing, but I haven't checked the code to see why.

Sometimes I just need a simple "rougher" line without curves so I added this option.

Hi guys

There was one option I was missing in XTherion to reduce the number of points in a line.
I work mostly with Topodroid and depending on the settings while drawing, in some cases I end up with lines with hundreds of points. This makes them harder to edit, enlarges the TH2 file and slows the compilation.

I added a menu Edit line > Simplify line that reduces the points. There is also a setting in xtherion.ini called "xth(gui,me,line,simp_limit)" that controls how smooth/rough the line becomes. A value of 10 seemed to work well for me.
One limitation is that Bezier lines become simple lines.

I've attached a few screenshots, the patch file, and the xtherion.tcl file.
Would be nice is someone can test how it works with their scraps.
