1.8.8 error and crash on exit

Post by legio_noctis »

I downloaded Cumulus 1.8.8 a few days ago to replace the rubbish-looking EasyWeather software that came with my new N96GY. I've been using it to FTP at 45 minute intervals as I develop a site, but after a few hours it starts Flashing 'New Record'/'Error' alternately, though it appears to keep working. This is solved easily by exiting and reopening the program, but when I last quit it threw the [attached] error.

While I'm here: this program is awesome!

The 'new record' light is simply telling you that a record has been broken. The error light is probably because an ftp has timed out (click on the LED and it will show you the error(s)). Cumulus does sometimes crash on exit - this appears to occur if you close it while an ftp is in progress (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#I_get_ ... se_Cumulus), so that ties in with your ftp possibly timing out.

Okay, thanks. I'll keep an eye on the error log, but it's been going fine for a few hours now.
