[Therion] Compiling Therion projects from Notepad++

[Bruce]

Thanks Footleg

(Without actually trying it) just making sure I understand a distinction
between 'your Ctrl+T' approach and 'my Ctrl+shift+X' approach, using
NotePad++ as described on the wiki page below...

-Ctrl+T runs Therion compiler on the currently active file, directly without
invoking XTherion. (?)
-Ctrl+shift+X opens a new instance of Xtherion with the currently active
file.

If so it might be a good idea to edit the page to explain that these are two
methods of cracking similar or complimentary nuts.

Yes, that is right. With my set up in Notepad++ I can generate the
Therion output (PDFs, LOX files, KML, etc.) specified in a Therion
config/project file just by pressing Ctrl+T when that file is the
active tab in Notepad++. So if I have several config files to output
maps of different scales or areas which share the scrap I am working
on, then I edit the scrap in xTherion scrap editor, and have the
various config files open in tabs in Notepad++. I then just select
each tab in turn and press Ctrl+T to generate the outputs for that
file. This allows me to easily render PDFs at different scales for
example to check label placements I am editing in a scrap render OK at
each scale I want to use that scrap at, and don't overlap with offset
maps etc.

Searching for one of my own configuration tips in the wiki, I found it
was not there. So I searched my email to find this thread which never
made it onto the wiki. I have now updated the wiki with this
information (and updated the link to where Notepad++ now lives for
downloading it too).

Nice
My usual mode of working is to have many instances of Therion open (a
thconfig or two, and a few .th2, but rarely a .th), each with only a single
file open.  All run from the pallet of Therion data files open in Notepad++
(usually about 10 or many more).

Your idea is a useful addition to this page
http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/contrib:externaleditors#notepad -
feel free to edit the page.

You can probably make use of the file name in your export statement to open
the output file. "Highlight a file and (relative) path and it opens that
file in NP++. Alt + F5, Alt + F6".

I find having multiple thconfig files open so I can compile different
parts of my large cave system project very useful. So I was
investgating how to run Therion from Notepad++ (my preferred text
editor). This is how I got it working:

I wrote a 2 line batch file containing these commands:

cd %1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe" %2

Saved to somewhere on disk, and then call it from Notepad++ using the
Run command, as follows:
On the Run menu in Notepad++, Select the 'Run' item, and enter the
command as follows:
"C:\Personal\Caving\Therion\compileTherion.bat" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
"$(FILE_NAME)"

(But using the path to where you saved your batch file).
Save the command (I called it 'Compile Therion' and gave it the
shortcut CTRL+T).
Now with any thconfig file open in a tab in Notepad++, I can compile
that project by pressing CTRL+T, or by selecting 'Compile Therion'
from the Run menu.

You can create multiple thconfig files in the same folder on Windows,
by giving them any filename you want with the extension .thc or give
them no extension at all. That way all the files will be listed in the
'Open File' dialog from the compile tab in xTherion.

Next I'll see if I can get my batch file to open the output PDF
automatically in Foxit Reader :) But that will be less general because
I need to pick a PDF filename which can vary between my thconfig
files.
