[Therion] Therion et al on Win 7 or 8.1
I'm staring down the barrel of having to migrate away from Windows XP. To help me get started on the decision making process, are there any tales of terror or reassurance from the Therion family of application users with Win7 or Win8.1? To name a few applications that need to integrate well, a text editor (in my case Notepad++), Therion, Survex, PocketTopo, Topparser and Foxit or Adobe pdf readers. For example Michael had (has?) a problem where Win7 will not open thconfig files from the os explorer window, whereas windows xp works fine. I think it gets stuck with wish84 as I mentioned on http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/windows Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Therion] Therion et al on Win 7 or 8.1
Hi Bruce, I am running Notepad++, Therion, Survex, PocketTopo, Topparser and Adobe readers in Win7 without problem. It took me a while to find a workaround the problem with the config file but I finally found out that renaming the config file with a th extension (e.g. mycave.thconfig -> mycave_thconfig.th) was the solution as xtherion recognizes it as a config file and opens it automatically in the right config window. I have no clue about Win8.1.

[Therion] Therion et al on Win 7 or 8.1
I have been using most of those applications on Windows 7 on both 32bit and 64bit machines with no problems for several years. My recent upgrade of a laptop to Windows 8 resulted in me being unable to run either Aven (the Survex model viewer) or Loch. But the recent free upgrade to Windows 8.1 fixed both those issues for me (an some other graphics rendering applications which had the same issue of crashing on launch). So now I am seeing no issues with any of these applications on Windows 8.1 (32 bit) on the laptop.

I should add that I use the Sumatra PDF reader on Windows as it is the only PDF reader I have found on Windows which correctly renders my Therion generated PDFs without locking the file. So I can recompile my projects without needing to close the PDF viewer and the PDF is refreshed in the Sumatra window automatically, making for a much smoother workflow.

I shall just point out that world's best-maintained cave-surveying operating system is (IMHO) Debian, so if you have to change OS you should at least consider that one.

That solves the Adobe locking problem, and I didn't see rendering issues, but I've not used it seriously. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/

I have been running Notepad++, Therion, Survex, PocketTopo, Topparser and Adobe pdf readers on W7 for several years. The only problems I have had are with Aven & that's down to that program not W7. I have never had a problem with Xtherion not recognising thconfig files without a name extension. I have run all of them under W8 as well, without issues, but haven't done so since the W8.1 free upgrade happened last week, so I'll not comment on that. Graham

I did try evince. I think it was the one which struggled to render what I wanted (limited zoom). Foxit locked files on Windows, but I don't think it does on Linux?

Even Windows are not my primary OS I can say that Win7 is much much better system than WinXP. It is actually probably the best OS from Microsoft not crippled by Modern (Metro) = Win 8.x. I have only positive experience with Win7 32/64bit and therion stuff. I am big fan of free software and GNU/Linux but it is still not 100% alternative to Windows/OS X on desktop.

Clearly this can be true if you have to use some particular windows-only application (In my case I can only file expenses at work with IE due to a crappy 3rd-party website design, and have had reason to run a windows app once every couple of years for some reason or another - such as demoing tortoisesvn use in a windows environment for cavers at hidden earth this year, and running pockettopo) But wine and virtual machines (virtualbox) take care of this nicely. The point being that my life is a great deal more civilised running GNU/Linux daily and digging out an instance of Windows occaisionally when needed, than it would be the other way round. Obviously others might make different choices, and I don't want to overdo the prosletysing, but just wanted make clear that I can't agree with the idea that it's not a viable alternative desktop OS.
