[Therion] Bug with background sketches?

[michael brewer]

I have had the same issues - 
- the jpg file output size was over 100mb 
- the image was on top of the scraps

I didn't manage to sort the problem and gave it to Bruce to look at! 

My initial thoughts were that this is due to some recent change as I had
compiled almost the same map a year ago using an older version of therion
without these issues.

Subject: [Therion] Bug with background sketches?

I am trying to include the sketch of an old survey as a background image on
which I want to superimpose the new map.
Here is a simplified example: the new survey is in SaleGosse4_test.th with
maps in SG4_plan1.th2.
For the underlying survey to keep a reasonable size, I used a morphed sketch
of the same survey which is SG4_A1_plan2_carnet.th2 with background sketch
Sale-Gosse_Carnet_2010_A1_plan2.jpg.

When I compile the pdf for that map (not included here because it is above 6
Mb), the warped sketch image is included 9 times instead of only one.
Apparently, it is considered as a sketch for all the scraps of the map while
it should only be the sketch of one of them. There is not only the problem
of file size explosion (over 50 Mb for the original survey sketch with 16
scraps above), but the image is also hiding the scraps that are supposed to
be above it.

I tried to play with many parameters in the layout (transparency, surface
bottom or top) without much changes.
It seems to me like a bug, or I missed something.  Does anyone have an idea?

Best

Xavier
