"This Month" is gone,
« on: July 26, 2023, 04:01:33 AM »
I'm not sure where it went, but "This Month" is no longer an option in the Window pull down menu.  Any ideas what I need to do to get it back?  Thanks in advance for any help that you are able to offer.

What was "This Month" exactly? (Re: "This Month" is gone,)

Dear Trasher74 and WeatherCat faithful,

Since this is your first posting, let me welcome you to the WeatherCat forum.

I'm not sure where it went, but "This Month" is no longer an option in the Window pull down menu.  Any ideas what I need to do to get it back?  Thanks in advance for any help that you are able to offer.

I'm not aware of anything called "This Month" built in WeatherCat.  Was this some sort of Custom Graph, Custom Gauge or Custom Text Window?  Before we can help you get it back, we need to know what it was.

Please advise,

Edouard

Thanks, glad to be here!

This must have been a custom text window.  At the bottom of the "Window" drop down menu, there is a list of available windows:  1 hr. Rain Rate, Daily Rain, External RH, External Temperature, Internal Temperature, Pressure, This Week, Weather Station Gauges, WeatherCat, Wind Direction, and Wind Speed.  At one point in time, there was also a This Month option in the list. 

In the "Tools" drop down menu, "Custom Text Menus", "This Week" shows at the bottom as a window that can be opened, or deleted.  I believe, originally, "This Month" also appeared here and I must have accidentally deleted it.  I don't know how, but it's gone. 

Each of this widows summarizes the week/month accordingly, showing the lows, highs, and averages for temp., humidity, pressure, wind, rain, etc.

Here is a copy of the This Month CTW. (Re: "This Month" is gone,)

Dear Trasher74 and WeatherCat infomaniacs, 

In the "Tools" drop down menu, "Custom Text Menus", "This Week" shows at the bottom as a window that can be opened, or deleted.  I believe, originally, "This Month" also appeared here and I must have accidentally deleted it.  I don't know how, but it's gone.

If you aren't seeing it anymore than indeed you must have accidentally deleted it.  I've attached a file that contains the This Month Custom Text Window from my WeatherCat installation.  You should be able to load it from the Load menu item of the Custom Text Windows.  The loading procedure is described on page 45 of the current WeatherCat manual.

Let us know if restores your Custom Text Window.

Cheers, Edouard

Darn.....I thought the problem was solved, but I can't figure out how to load the ctw file. 
Did I mention that I'm on a Macintosh?  Perhaps my original post was in the wrong place.
I could not find an application to open it when trying to copy and paste.  And if I create a new custom window, it will not drag and drop.

You don't need to mention that as everyone using WeatherCat is on a Macintosh of some flavor.  :)

I love it when a WeatherCatter figures out a solution.
