clonk Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I have to say, wonderful application! If I may pose a suggestion, maybe you should build a 'check for updates' feature into it!

darkmark327 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 weirdi'm still under tornado warning and no alert with the program...try with my zip 21078 Hmm..."tornado"...i'll have to add that to the list of alert conditions :blush: I'll throw hurricanes in there too (I had a feeling I would forget a few inclement conditions) Basically how the alerts work is that it checks to see if the current condition contains things like "rain", "thunder", etc....I had to come up with the list, and basically forgot about hurricanes and tornadoes. If anyone can think of any other inclement conditions I've missed, by all means tell me...so far I have "rain", "thunder", "lightning", "sleet", "wintry mix", "showers", "snow", "frigid", "hail", "storm", "tornado", "hurricane", "blizzard" Note that "light rain", "heavy rain", "rain", etc are all taken care of by "rain" since that occurs in each. As I said a few pages back "check for updates" is another thing on my list...for the moment I'm still working out a few kinks with the radar Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175813-weatheralert/page/4/#findComment-2282171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmark327 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 lol I didn't think I'd need to put a bodily injury disclaimer; guess we live and learn ; ) Fixed a few more little issues with radar, animation, and their threading (mainly some issues on start up, switching locations, etc wherein the radar thread wouldn't get the data properly)...I also discovered a crash when you try to display the radar with no connection...index out of bounds! how noobish (scraping the weather.com page for the radar options gives one extra option that is invalid and commented out on the actual site...my removing it without checking if it was there was short-sighted, since it isn't there if you've no connection to get it from) I think I should bump up the priority of in-program updating, that seems like it would be helpful with my rampant updates of the program ; ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175813-weatheralert/page/4/#findComment-2282624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmark327 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 also is there a way to force an update from weather.com? Did you mean to ask me that, because I never said it. Short answer: no with a but, long answer: yes with an if; deleting the cache files and restarting the program is the only way ATM, there is no program option If a mod could reflect the name change to "WeathAlert" in the thread title, it'd be most appreciated.

darkmark327 Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 OK seeing as how it's a simple change I went ahead and put that in. The rest is a bit more involved so that will take time.

darkmark327 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 Any updates? Did weather.com ever email you back? Yeah, once I got the email linking to the requirements, that's when I implemented them. I've been at work a lot the last few days so I've not had much chance to work on it. Last thing I did was add a location menu to the tray context menu.

darkmark327 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Is there any hope of getting the 300 mile radar put back in? Yeah, I put in all the map options (radar, satellite, etc). You can select them all from the combo box. 300 Mile is there too.

pagal Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 don't take it the wrong way, but how about releasing the source code so that someone could help you out with solving the memory leak problem? just an idea.

pagal Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 it takes around 15-20 Mb of ram when maximized. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175813-weatheralert/page/4/#findComment-2303330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmark327 Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 (edited) it takes around 15-20 Mb of ram when maximized. .net framework's high memory consumption != memory leak A memory leak is when a program's memory usage continues to increase the longer it runs because it isn't freeing memory correctly.
