Hello list, I have been playing around with defining the style-file in the template.args file instead of in the command line. After about 4 hours of inconsistent results I have by painful trial and error discovered the following. If I use this line in template.args everything works: style-file: ../mkgmap/resources/styles/mystyle But if I use this line: style-file: "../mkgmap/resources/styles/mystyle" mkgmap silently fails and applies the default style. Why does it bork on the ""? How would it cope if you had Windows-like spaces in your path to the style file? It would *really* help if someone could add a quick patch to make sure mkgmap fails elegantly when it can't find the style file. The same problem does not occur if you invoke mkgmap with the --style-file="../mkgmap/resources/styles/mystyle" option - presumably the command line interpreter handles the "" properly here? Charlie
