Visible winddirection

[Broesel]

Sorry, I meant:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus

Tap on it, you should see "BasePath" and it should say "/Program Files/TodayPlus".

That is odd, I tested on my PPC and I pointed the base to default nad it worked..    

Well, as I wrote you, the second exe worked fine for me,
but in my Basepath there are slashes (not backslashes)
\Programme\TodayPlus

Oops we are even..
It should be" \Program Files\TodayPlus"

Uk_skinner,

Clicking on TodayPlus in the path you say, I get three lines:

Code Select Expand

lastDir     \Windows\Start\Microsoft
skin         Skins\Timmy(10)WD.txt
Thread     High
But I think you ask for other information than this...

Looks like you are missing your BasePath ?????

Oh ...You don't have BasePath???

On my divce, the lastDir=\Program Files\TodayPlus.  What version of TP are you running?  Could you please go to Configure, tap on "Base Path" then select your base pathway.  Close it, and check the key again, to see you get "BasePath" key..

Thanks to Broesels screendump: I don't have a BasePath line.

For your information: I use version 11, like you. In the Configuration file I have chosen as Base Directory  \Start Menu\Microsoft

EDIT nr. 1: Now I have a BasePath too:  \Windows\Start Menu\Microsoft
EDIT nr. 2: Now the last version work well! NO PROBLEMS! Everything is OK!!! I thank the PPC-doctors for their right medicine!!!

Ok, sent a new one.

It will add the wind direction index and speed for "ALL the Cities" into registry key.  However, I saw "non-standard" word for wind direction, such as "VAR", "CALM".  I need to look into it later.

Yes, worked fine for all my 5 cities  

Well for the other values I suggest you giving numbers starting from
999 down. Example:

VAR = 999
CALM = 998

If there are some more values we can go down with the values
and get some graphics to that numbers.

Ok, I am going to put a delay in the exe.  Since this exe extracts the infromation from cityx.txt so ideally it needs to do the job after the "updating" finishes in TP.  How long you think is enough....

Alternatively you can make a shortcut can be triggered by a button.

Well, can you get the delay from a registry-var or maybe better from a txt-file like in Radar.txt ?
So everybody can try and see how long the update takes and change the value.
For me I think it's about 20 - 40 seconds.

Uk_skinner,

Here everything is OK, too! No problems this time! I've got my three cities!

I've started with making new icons. Which number do you prefer? Do you have other wishes? Please, let me know!!!

Timmy:

 Just an idea.
 Can we just have a background image, like we did in the analogue clock.  We just have different "pointers" for different wind index.  Then just overlay the pointers on the background image.  In that way, you change background easily also the total size will much smaller, isn't it?

Uk_skinner,

That's possible to do, I can make several backgrounds, also in several languages. Only the pointers for the different winddirections are in the other pics.

What does our Weatherman Broesel think of it?

I think it is time to move this thread over to "Developer's Corner".
