Symbols Catalogue Wonky
LOL! I don't hate you.
If you intend to keep building everything larger and doing more and more maps between the 2 machines it would be best to move the symbol pngs and the catalogue files into the Symbols folder. Otherwise what you do to a map on either machine won't work correctly on the other machine.

Well, you could scale the png file itself in GIMP or some other bitmap editor and reimport it - ready scaled to be the right size once it's imported.
I really do recommend you opt for the temporary pain of moving your symbol folders and your catalogue files into the Symbols folder and using relative references as you repair the catalogues and map files. Once you've done it on one machine you can copy the resulting folders and catalogues to the other machine and put them in the same place in that Symbols folder. That way, you won't ever have to carry on remaking catalogues every time you sit at the other machine. That would be a pain that will never go away.

Plans for an annual for next year?
Yes, there's always a new annual. Quoting from the Bonus Annual Issue – Random Hand-drawn Dungeons blog published today:
"Annual 2026 subscribers should have received their re-subscription offer for the Annual 2026. Please contact us, if you haven’t received your email."
That first date should be 2025. I've let Ralf know.

Aerdyn Continental Map WIP
It looks really good :)
I was momentarily confused by the name Teufelsmeer until I realised that a meer was probably a sea (as the French is mer). If I had any suggestions it would be to make a more obvious difference between the land labels and the sea labels - perhaps make the sea labels a little paler blue?

current situation with Image Magick and CC3+
I wouldn't know the answer to your first question, but the second one - yes, it's still relevant. The default value is 4 million. Use EXPORTSETMPPP to see the value, then enter 40000000 (40 million), which increases the number of pixels per pass tenfold. It makes everything much faster.
The default was left that low because even these days there are still some old PCs out there that can't handle the larger size.
