WeatherCat Controller - Prev & Next Day Buttons
« on: July 10, 2012, 05:59:03 AM »
It's just two more buttons.  :D

I use the scrolling capability a lot more than I thought I would, and several times I've found myself wishing for a 24 hour jump button when I'm in the process of trying to find an event, the date of which escapes me.

P.S. Got the Cat running on 256GB SSD and can't even tell if there is a performance hit. It's silent and nothing lags, even when playing 3D graphic games, which I rarely do.  ;)

I'll take a look at it - not sure I want to add more buttons, I'll see how it looks or maybe hold a key down whilst clicking.

You can direct entry into the date field - you can have a try with English as well, for example 'Yesterday', although what works and doesn't depends on your OS version and localisation settings.

One more note, the scrolling increment depends on the time scale of the basic graphs - the bigger the scale there (set in the prefs), the more scroll you get on the buttons. Also note the satellite imagery is linked to this scrolling/date entry, so you can see the sat imagery for any date as well as the daily stats.

Yep! I've seen that. Guess I could type in "yesterday" then copy it and paste it each time.

The modifier key sounds like a great idea. No futzing around with the layout. It's a small thing in the larger scope of the project, but it is logical.

On another note, I notified WU that they had left out the WeatherCat on their reference page covering WU compatible software for different platforms. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/index.asp However, it appears that a refresh hasn't happened yet. They may be waiting on a scheduled page refresh through some sort of committee process. Anyway, I couldn't help but wonder if you had notified them of the 1.0 release of the Cat. (?)
