Radar/Stocks Download Problem

[dgmele]

When I attempt to download radar/stocks images, I get the error message "Could not find resource assembly." The first image loads, but nothing else. Help would be appreciated.

demele:

Could you please upload your radar.txt here?  Some of error can not be seen if you just post them here.

[dgmele]

Will add zip file. Thanks.

dgmele:

  Did you upload the file?  I don't see it.  If you have problem to do it, just email to me uk_skinner@comcast.net.

demele:

  Got your email.  This forum only will accept .zip so if you zip your file then you should be able to upload.  

  I could not see any error in your radar.txt and I also got the same error as you did.  The url address looked fine and EzDownload can get image without problem.  This happened once before.      

 Try to upload your radar.txt (after zip) here.  Perhpas, some other users can take a look.  If you still can not upload it, let me know I can do it for you.

 Meanwhile, if this is really the case, we can use EzDownload to download the image you wish.

UK_Skinner,

Thanks for the quick response.

Here's the zip file.

 I will prepare a package tomorrow for you if you are willing to try EzDownload approach.

Thanks. Don't know anything about EZ Download, but I'm eager to learn and willing to try.

Thanks. Don't know anything about EZ Download, but I'm eager to learn and willing to try.

Here it is.  I always recommand user to backup the system before they do anything.

1) EzDownload is a free software to download file via http.  This is official link. http://masataka.mailbbs.com/ez/en/

2) Unzip the file and you should find 3 files in the folder, EzDownload.exe, RadarTest.exe and RadarTest.txt.

3) Copy EzDownload.exe to /Window.  At this moment, that is the only place it can go.

4) You can put RadarTest in any folder but both .exe and .txt has to be the same folder.

5) As you can see when you open RadarTest.txt in Notepad, there are only two lines for each downloading.  The first one is "url" and the second one is the file pathway fo downloaded file.

6) You probably noticed that the last 3 url address were little different than your oriinal ones.  That is becuase there are certain characters ("&", "=", "%", " ") need to be replaced with %XX.  See (in Japanese)http://masataka.mailbbs.com/ez/jp/spec.txt

After that, please try run RadarTest.exe under file explorer and you should see something happened at your bottom task bar.  It probably will take less than 10s to finish the downloading.  At this point, there will be no "sign" to tell you dowloading is finished or not.  If you wish to have a pop-up window, I can add it.  Please let me know.  Check the folder (Radar, Radar1 and Stocks) to see your files are downloaded.

Once everything is ok, then you can wither goto TP configure to assign a shortcut for RadarTest.exe or call it out direct from the skin using "button" or "imagebutton" code.

Thanks. Will try this and let you know the result.

Wow. Works fine. Thanks so much. However, I did have to move my TodayPlus folder from the My Documents to the Program Files folder, which is inconvenient for transferring files on my PC. But having it work is worth the trade-off.

I like having no announcement window, at least for now. Thanks for your offer, though.

I went to the EZDownload page to determine which symbols had to be changed (for future URLs) but could not read the text. Any help here?

The my documents folder is very convenient.  It makes it easy to transfer files from PC to PPC.  For more options I use software called MobSync.  You can set up any folder or file on the PPC to sync with the PC.  It can be scheduled to sync when the PPC is first connected and then on a time interval or you can do it manually.  The biggest convenience is not having to drill down into nested folders so often.
It is freeware and available here:

When I make skin changes I edit the skins on the PC with a full screen, keyboard and mouse. I used to have a windows explorer window open to the skins folder on the PPC and used drag and copy to change the file. This caused some errors when I saved the canged skin file, I think it was a sharing violation.  MobSync solved the problem.  I save the file to the skins folder on the PC and perform a sync.
