Hi Torsten,

I made some instructions last night so that we could get this working on our 
project, so excuse the references, but you will get the idea.

If anyone wants to tidy this up and put it on the Wiki then please feel free :)


Some instructions on getting the photo overlays to work on your PC.

You’ll need the onedrive as a file location on your PC.

Mine is at: C:\Users\alastair\OneDrive\Tresviso2019\photo_overlay


We need to point Therion to this file location

To do this we need to go into the Therion programme files:

In mine this is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\texmf\web2c

[cid:7dde4e17-affb-4460-b533-5de7d5e7f714]


In here is a file called texmf.cnf

We need to edit this file.

It will look like this:

[cid:c9eb0e55-dca1-47be-8d12-00cbe479bf86]


We need to change the TEXINPUTS to point it to our onedrive file.

TEXINPUTS = $TEXMF/tex;C:/Users/alastair/OneDrive/Tresviso2019/photo_overlay;.

The semicolon and the dot at the end of this line are very important, as is the 
semicolon before the C directory.

Saving this file doesn’t always work. Administrator privileges or something.

If it doesn’t let you save it, save it somewhere else and either drag and drop 
it or copy and paste the file into the therion program files. C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Therion\texmf\web2c

Now we should be able to get the Photo overlay to work on both our PC’s.

And it will work across all of the different surveys.

For completeness we are keeping the specific photo overlay tex file in the same 
file as the thconfig. The specific photo overlay is looking into the onedrive 
file and drilling down into the Marniosa file.

As per Henry Bennett's suggestion the other week we are keeping the generic 
layouts and translations at a higher level. (I asked Henry whether I could 
borrow/steal a lot of his code from the speleophilippeans project and he was 
happy)

cave-registry.org.uk/svn/Andara/XTherionFiles/

It is still work in progress but we're getting there.


Regards,
Alastair.
