GOT IT! This is a weird one indeed, and very definitely a bug or set of bugs in Therion. Your .xtherion.dat file (a log file created by Therion when it compiles) has the "Hidden" flag set on Windows, something it gets automatically on Linux by having a dot at the start of the name, except you're not using Linux. I don't know how that happened, since you never set it yourself. Maybe it has something to do with how you shared the files between computers using the PCloud service?... When .xtherion.dat has the "Hidden" flag set, Therion thinks it cannot write to it (even though it actually can, since the Read-Only flag is not set), so it doesn't output anything to that file, and throws an error. The error has the wrong message, since it claims not to be able to create Plan.thconfig.xth, when it actually did create that temporary file just fine. To fix it for yourself, right click on the .xtherion.dat file. Select "Properties". Untick the "Hidden" checkbox. Click OK. Problem solved. _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion
