[Therion] Fwd: PDF output: layers nested?

[Benedikt Hallinger]

Hi,
no, i really have submaps in my example.
mymap in my case is defined in my thconfig file, and it references a 
mainmap as submap.
That submap again is a collection of other submaps, that finally contain 
scraps:


-------------
source
   map 164-Grundriss -title "Mappe 164: Wandaugenlabyrinth Ost"

     #preview above 172-Hauptplan at 172.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle
     preview above 162-Hauptplan at 162.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle
     preview above 180-Hauptplan at 180.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle
     preview above 170-Hauptplan at 170.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle
     preview above 171-Hauptplan at 171.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle

     164-Hauptplan at 164.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle     #<-- this 
contains several other maps, which finally contain scraps

   endmap
endsource
----------------


> select 164-Grundriss -map-level 2
This works, but removes the previews (from 164-Grundriss) and also the 
offsets defined in 164-Hauptplan.
I also tried "select 164-Grundriss -map-level basic" with the same 
result.
