Downloading Radar Imagery

[Rotlaus]

I also think it is easer with a (may be) Basic_Radar.txt which includes a lot of often used .urls (specifics) from those the users select themself (and create their own .txt).

Yes, everyone can help building a radar.txt, but not everyone can build a new exe.

I disturb only reluctantly your Discussion but you permanently take me to new ideas.
What I could use as user and Skinner would be the following this:

-A program which is able to download up to 10 images
-The images should be stored into two Folders of my choice
-I should be able to use any arbitrary link
-I would like to be able to enter the links in a simple text file
-If possible himself should the program append to the synchronization process of AS and the pictures download automatically


Is it possible to program something like that?

Yes

Andre, am I right?

That works with the actual radar.exe

-The images should be stored into two Folders of my choice

Store it wherever you want...  

-I should be able to use any arbitrary link

Static links work, dynamic in process

-I would like to be able to enter the links in a simple text file

You have the radar.txt...

-If possible himself should the program append to the synchronization process of AS and the pictures download automatically

I have absolute no Idea how this works, but i will find out...

Is it possible to program something like that?

I think so, yes.

[Wichtel]

I can live with that    

Perhaps it helps what if I say TD+ watches only the synchronization process of AS and append himself to it.

I must misuderstand that.  Can you explain more?

I can with the say of Rotlaus live, only the dynamic URLs are theoretically missing. However, I think, this he will manage this. If the automatic synchronization doesn't work, this isn't a problem either

Edit: TodayPlus doesn't synchronize of alone,  it watches AS  and as soon as e.g. an appointment is synchronized TD+ also synchronizes.

I hope for it helps. In the German forum I have written a longer contribution to it, however, have difficulties with the translation.

nas, when you become a guest?

I forgot to change the permissions when I created this section.

Hi, guys...

I just arrived in this topic, and i'm not aware with the radar imagery...

Does any skin exist with a display of radar pictures ? This feature is very interesting, and if I can help somone, just let me know...

Tetsuo:

  You did.
  That was the reason I asked the help to find weather image.  We have a way to download the updated image from internet and display in TP.  Thanks for Rotluas and his exe.  As long as you can find a good one fit your needs, right now it is possible you can have this added into your weather section in any skin of TP.  
  If you would like more information or have any quesion, post here and you will get a lot of help.

[Tetsuo]

OK, cool...

I want to display the europe satellite picture in TD+. Do I have to install something more than TD+ ? I saw some code lines in the topic, can someone explain me how it works ???

I know that newbies wants ever more than they knows, but some clarifications are usefull for all comunity...

Thanks for your help, and many thanks for all your amazing job...

Yes, we do need some help from a small exe (developed by Rotluas) to get image downloaded into your device.  Once the weather satellite image is in your device, it just likes the other image and TD+ can call it out.  

1) The exe Rotlaus made is very good now, it allows you to get image and saved anywhere you wish in your device.  This exe also can deal with "dynamic url".  Some weather site put the image in different folder depends on the date and time.  So once you figure out the url and decide where you want to put your image, then just put them into a simple text (there is a example) and put both exe and txt in the same folder.

2)  The second major part is to set your TD+ skin to call out the image.  This will be somewhat "tricky" depends on your image size.  Most of weather images are not made for PDA.  And this is where you can customerize your need.  For instance, if your image is too big, you could use offset code to set the center of your image.  You can add the label to show your home town.  You can make a "functional" tap to lead you to another weather image.  The last but not the least is to have button to update your image by calling Rotlaus exe.

Good new is Wichtel will include this feature in his next release.  I have been playing around it and get some nice things (I think) work out, include a world storm watch, Europe satelliet image (tap on some country, you will get more details about this conutry), Gemany (from wetteronline.de) and UK (from BBC).  I would like to add France, so that, again was the reason I asked for help from you guys.

[Tetsuo]

Thanks for your answer... It's more clear for me... I'll do my best to help you...

Bye

Hi,

first of all i have to apologize myself. I had so less spare time the last two weeks. So the Radar.Exe had to wait until now.

In the Attachement you will find the first Beta Version of the Radar.exe which handle dynamic URLs. The Format String is described in this Message.

Before praising me too much, give it a try first. It works for me here, but that means nothing.

Greetings,

Andre

Hi Rotlaus

Looks as if so it would work.
I will further tests for the next hours whether the pictures are loaded correctly and report then.
