Thanks, kwacky1.  Sorry to hear about the location issue.  Which weather service do you normally use?  I may change up sWeather to use weather.com or some other site.

There are just a few small things I'd like to ask, like an auto-refresh feature for the weather (or is it already there but the interval > 30 minutes?

-Ath (March 03, 2011, 04:34 PM)

I suppose I should mention this somewhere.  The interval is one hour since that's as often as Yahoo! Weather is updated.  That being said, there are two ways to force a refresh: switching locations & the tray menu.  I should add a refresh text on the main dialog, too, eh?  =]

a configuration setting would be nice) and a sort of non-offscreen check for the Options and About windows, as I've put the main window in the right-bottom of my screen (though that may change) and these other windows are half-invisible because they are placed relative to the main window.

-Ath (March 03, 2011, 04:34 PM)

I'll consider this.  =]

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)

« Last post by skwire on March 03, 2011, 03:55 PM »

Thanks, folks.    The "s" is sWeather stands for "simple" so there are no plans to add extra stuff like alerts, maps, etc.  I want to keep this at one small dialog.  About the only thing I would increase the size of the main dialog for would be a small five-day forecast.  Unfortunately, Yahoo! do not include that data in the RSS feeds that power this app.

If anybody creates a new set of icons/images for this app, I'd be happy to include it in the zip.  Keep in mind that each part of sWeather's theme is separate so you don't have to create all three parts.  The three parts are:

• Tray condition icons (ICO format)
• Tray temperature icons (ICO format)
• Popup condition images (PNG format)

You can find the condition codes here: http://developer.yah...o.com/weather/#codes

Study the contents of the /images folder and you'll get the idea; it's pretty simple.  If you use somebody else's images, please be sure to attain permission.  Thanks.

This is not a trivial thing to program so I would recommend you look at the following applications:

"The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action..."

-Harpagon (March 02, 2011, 07:11 PM)

It sounds like you moved the Files2Folder executable after registering the shell extension.  Try unregistering using the automatically generated shortcut and then re-registering.

Hey skwire, I'm still waiting for a reply to my Jan 12 post above.............. And Harpagon, it works well for me on W7 x64 Home Premium with exception above. Brian

-briandr67 (March 02, 2011, 09:43 PM)

Yes, this is a glitch and I've tried a few copy/move methods to fix it (with no success).  I think about the only way to handle it would be to recreate the shortcut in the target folder and then delete the original LNK file.

What's wrong with just using a wiki-style approach and simple tables?  I find tables more informative and useful than clicking 'next' a hundred times to get through a category with a bunch of entries.

Put XP on it.  Like Ath says, I think you'll be surprised how well it runs.  If you don't like how it runs, try something else.

Agreed...but I think we need to fill all current slots before doubling up on any.
