Yes, that is right. With my set up in Notepad++ I can generate the
Therion output (PDFs, LOX files, KML, etc.) specified in a Therion
config/project file just by pressing Ctrl+T when that file is the
active tab in Notepad++. So if I have several config files to output
maps of different scales or areas which share the scrap I am working
on, then I edit the scrap in xTherion scrap editor, and have the
various config files open in tabs in Notepad++. I then just select
each tab in turn and press Ctrl+T to generate the outputs for that
file. This allows me to easily render PDFs at different scales for
example to check label placements I am editing in a scrap render OK at
each scale I want to use that scrap at, and don't overlap with offset
maps etc.
