I have figured out what makes the difference between getting this warning and not getting this warning.

If I do not select and surveys in the thconfig (thereby invoking the default behaviour to select them all) the list outputs are created with no warning.

If I select some or all of the surveys, the warning is given and the list outputs are not (properly) created.

So this would seem like a bug?

Subject: geographical reference is not associated with table

Any ideas as to what is going on here?

I have a collection of caves (survey centrelines only at this stage – no drawings and no maps defined at this stage) that are each in their own folder, and I can compile them individually, producing cave-lists in html and kml and many other outputs as well, including pdf’s, and all is well. 

(Each of these caves is geo-referenced to the same coordinate system.  I have defined the date in the line above the cs, and this is defined above the fixed stations, as in years gone by there have been issues when fixed stations are defined before the cs).


When I step up to the parent folder that contains all of these caves, I combine them all with an index file that has a series of ‘input’ statements, and then compile them all as a group.  Again I produce many types of outputs Occasionally the cave-lists are created, but for the last few hours  I have been getting the warning…

“warning -- geographical reference is not associated with table”

It has been around from time to over the last week or so, but I am not sure what is causing it.  I have not yet figured out what, if anything, I am changing to cause this behaviour. I have tried adding a centreline to the top level index file with a date and cs statement, but its presence makes no difference to the outcome.

When I get this error, an empty html file is produced and no kml file is produced.  An excerpt from the therion.log file looks like this…

writing ./Output/ArthurSurveyList.html ... done
writing ./Output/ArthurContinuations.html ... done
writing ./Output/ArthurCaveList.html ... done
writing ./Output/ArthurCaveList.kml ...
D:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: warning -- geographical reference is not associated with table
done
processing projection plan ... done
writing ./Output/ArthurPlan.pdf ...

So why might therion SOMETIMES not be able to find the georeferenced fixed station information, for one type of output only, that is defined one level down?

Therion 5.3.11 using Survex 1.2.4 to process the survey data.
