Hello Bruce, thanks for you answer. You got exactly what I meant, I needed to know if I can have a station labelled without creating a .th2 file.
The debug station-names (layout option) generates too much output: I only need to mark some "important" stations and have them marked with the *same* label in all projections. It seems I can't avoid to make at least a scrap for every projection I need.
