This fatal error should be fixed in todays snapshot. Regards, S. On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 4:55 AM, Bruce Mutton <bruce.mutton@paradise.net.nz> wrote:

Ah ha! I see I WAS missing something!

The distinction between "background sketches" in the "scrap" "toolbar" and

"background images" in the "background images" "toolbar" was too subtle for me.

Once I discovered the correct 'button' it works fine, at least until compile time, when Windows OS decides Therion.exe has encountered a fatal error and closes it down. Are there any clues in the code below? (sub-folder? Spaces in filename?)

A while back I asked

I have had "sketches on" (no quote marks) in my layout since my first (almost) Therion steps last year, and not once have I had my jpg sketches exported to pdf. I expect they should, and I recall that the samples provided seem to do so - I could find no difference between my code and the samples.

Stacho replied

Do you have -sketch option specified in your scrap? It does not work automatically.

In the scrap toolbar - last list box is background sketches. You need to click insert button below and then click on the appropriate picture. Then this picture should be listed in the "background sketches" listbox. Background images in xtherion are not seen by therion, you need to enable this manually.

However on studying the text files produced by my map editor efforts, and those in the morphing sample I see that the –sketch option is missing from my *.th2 files.

From the Therion book…

So in theory I could manually add this option using the text editor, but there is a difficulty calculating the x, y co-ordinates. I suppose it could be done by hand or by trial and error, but very time consuming.

Am I missing something, or is there something my map editor is not translating correctly?
