Hi Jack, Tlf surely does not create or move any files into a trash folder. Where is your trash folder located? Could you give the list of most recent files from it? (I mean "ls -ltr trash | tail")
The way Xplanet is called saves the current view in a JPG file. I think the typical use case would be no to save the view but rather to show it live on screen, i.e. omitting the -output option. Your Xplanet command overwrites xplanet_image.jpeg each 10 second > xplanet -latitude 35.0 -longitude -120.00 -wait 10 -output > xplanet_image.jpeg -fontsize 16 -config config-TLF -geometry 1200x600 > -projection peters unless there are further relevant options in config-TLF file. What is the content of config-TLF? 73, Zoli On Fri, Dec 17, 2021 at 09:41:33PM -0800, John Lindley wrote: > Tom- > > Thanks for looking at the code.
