Hi Alastair
Thank you very much for your clarification on that toppic.
Now I got it to work. :-) Hooray!
This is my actual TEXINPUTS:
TEXINPUTS = $TEXMF/tex;T:/Survey;.;
Before the above I had this (which was not working):
TEXINPUTS = $TEXMF/tex;T:/Survey//;.;
Somewhere I read this // at the end of the path would include all subfolders
while searching for the proper file from the loadpicture command.
Beside this I did a second mistake.
In the command \loadpicture{...} I always started the path with "./" or with
"../" or with just "/".
E.g.: \loadpicture{./CaveSystem/Image.jpg}
But if you just start with the name of the subfolder than it works.
So correct command in the thconfig in folder Cave-1 is:
\loadpicture{_General/Logos/Image.jpg}
You can have all your survey stuff in one top level folder. All needed survey
data is in this top level folder.
Just use relative paths everywhere in your config files.
Finally add this top level folder to TEXINPUTS.
With this you can transfer this file structure to every computer and all you
have to do on another computer is:
Add this top level folder to TEXINPUTS.
Thanks again for your help.
regards,
Torsten
