This looks like the line simply gets clipped because of insufficient
buffer size. And on trying to activate it, it might be clipped even
shorter than on writing. Encountering an invalid option name still is a
fatal error when the options were not coming from a settings file (where
recovery is possible by skipping to the next line, and where it was
pretty annoying that after running a newer test version of WinBoard, the
old version would crash because of the new options it did not knowthat
were stored in the settings file). The "logout" is now always sent to an
ICS after a fatal error, to prevent the ICS from starting a new game
when XBoard is waiting for user confirmation of the fatal-error popup
before actually exiting (which you would then forfeit on time).
I will check which buffers the theme definition passes through, and
enlarge those. It would of course also be helpful if at some point (e.g.
creating the line in the -themeNames option in LoadTheme()) XBoard would
recognize the long path names obtained from the file chooser as being in
its DATADIR (which here is
"/Applications/Chess/Xboard/XBoard.app/Contents/Resources/share/xboard"?),
and replace it by ~~. This would of course not help against general use
of long path names, but it would surely make the theme lines more
readable in the typical case:
"Marble(Blue)" -ubt true -lbtf
"~~/themes/textures/Transparent/stone-marble2-texture.png" -dbtf
"~~/themes/textures/Transparent/stone-marble1-texture.png" -lbtm 1 -dbtm
1 -lsc #cbdce1 -dsc #1b6883 -ub false -upf false -pid
"~~/themes/Habsburg" -trueColors false -wpc #ededed -bpc #000000 -hsc
#fff826 -phc #FF0000

I hope I'm not to late. I fear something is a little sick here. I
created a theme and this is what was saved:
"Marble(Blue)" -ubt true -lbtf

-dbtf

-trueColors false -wpc #ededed -bpc #000000 -hsc #fff826 -phc #FF0
Only when I select this theme, xboard crashes to desktop with:
xboard-bin: Unrecognized argument -p
logout
Clearly something is odd with the way the line is interpreted or
saved. the -p came from the partial -phc value. But even then should
xboard CDT in this manner with no error outside of the terminal?

I think it would be better to just release 4.9.0. We could go on
forever making dev-releases,
and by the time all translations got we would likely already have
added new strings
that need to be translated.
So let's just release what we have, and when we received all .po
files pertaining to it,
we just release a 4.9.1 with those. We might have bug-reports and
fixes in the mean
time as well, so it is never a bad idea to have an x.y.1 release
shortly after the x.y.0 release.
We could even adopt that as a policy for future releases. String
freezes are just not practical;
it is always better to have an item with an untranslated name in the
UI than not having
the item at all. Or postponing the release, leaving people with
unfixed bugs in the previous
version.
