Hi all, I think there is an old rather confusing glitch in mkgmap class TypSaver which it is used with a *.typ file as input, as in java -jar mkgmap.jar --output-dir=<map-folder> --family-id=4711 ... -c splitter-dir\template.args ..\typfiles\existing.typ to make sure that family-id and product-id are correctly updated in the *.typ file. Since 2012 the program creates / overwrites a copy of file existing.typ in the source(!) directory ..\typfiles with the prefix "x", so ..\typfiles\xexisting.typ is written instead of <map-folder>\existing.typ. I can't find it now but I think there were complains that this name doesn't fit the 8+3 rule for old file systems and causes trouble on some devices. I think when Steve coded this he expected that the *.typ file is in the output directory, not somewhere else. My conclusions: - I think it is an error to create the copy in the source directory. - I see no reason to create a copy with the prepended "x", I would just create or alter the file in the given output directory. @Steve: What case am I missing? What's the reason for the different name in the copy? @all: Does anybody rely on this behaviour? Gerd
