I appreciate the compliments on the first version, and hope you'll equally enjoy the updates in the new version:
Radar Watch version 1.1 beta is now available to download from my website at
http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/
New Features:- Added the choice to select from all 4 types of animated radars available on the nws site
- Added the ability to define custom static (non-animated) radar channels
One-time change:
I moved the storage of your station choice from a file to the registry, so you'll need to reselect your location when you run the new version.
Why it's a beta:
Currently there is no way to remove custom radar channels through the program. Version 1.1 final will allow for this. In the meantime, if you want to remove a channel and are comfortable with editing the registry:
- Open up HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Navigate to Software\MisurdaSoft\RadarWatch
- Open up the Custom subkey
- Delete any keys you no longer want
- Reopen the program
Other things:- The current chosen radar is no longer checked in the menus
- clicking the update button after a change of location will not download the new location's map. Reselect it from the radar menu.
Let me know of any problems, I'm learning C# with this program and finding some issues extremely annoying, so some things may not be correct yet.
