Existing xvi background images not visible in XTherion Map Editor, insertion causes error
Mōrena Something bad has happened with regard to xvi image processing (in 6.0.2 and maybe a little earlier but I have not tested). A friend attempting to get it running in a Windows 10 VM (from a Mac host I think) asked me about this. Unfortunately I have the same experience with a standard Windows 10 installation and Therion 6.0.2, over a couple of projects, so I’m assuming it is universal. Opening th2 files via XTherion Map Editor that include background images (jpg, png) seem to be OK. Opening some th2 files with that include background images display partially (survey legs and splays only, no stations) but are not listed in the background sketches pane on the right.. Opening other th2 files the xvi is invisible and also not listed in the background sketches pane on the right. Attempting to insert a new xvi into the former th2 gives an error as below and as attached (from different projects and machines). Opening the latter gives the image below – note that the background images pane is blank in both cases. The content of the header in the th2 file seems to be OK, as highlighted below. It is just that XTherion is now silently failing to display it (or failing to display it properly). Seems like this is a bug! Bruce
Hi Bruce, thanks a lot for finding out and reporting. This is definitely a bug introduced in 6.0.2 with improved sorting of background images. It should be fixed in 23b301e. Thanks again, S. On Fri, 17 Sept 2021 at 06:58, Bruce Mutton <bruce@tomo.co.nz> wrote:

This is really a fine piece of software and a good project. Thank you all for all the ongoing effort over all those years! btw. my mapping project of the hirlatz cave is approaching to cross the 70km mark soon :) Am 2021-09-17 8:42, schrieb Bruce Mutton:

Introducing “Rob Davies”. After a quick spin through, it looks like 23b301e is working.
Thanks for the speedy turnaround Stacho.
