Historical graphs and cumulus restart

Hi, I'm actually using cumulus 1.9.2 b996 and I see a "strange" behaviour.

Whenever I stop and restart cumulus the historical graphs (temperature, rain, wind, etc...) get less resolution than before stopping.
The problem is more evident in the wind plot since I'm using 10minutes average for wind speed.

Additionally the wind direction plot loses the average and every past spot of direction is shared by the average.

I will try to make screenshot to help understand better.

I didn't notice this behaviour in the 1.9.1 betas... but maybe I never looked at it.

Don't bother with the screen shot as this is not an error. When restarted Cumulus will display plot points based upon your update interval, when running it shows data every minute (it may be 48 secs but I can't remember). I hope this answers your question.

Ok, good, but why don't keep the old dense values?
If the old values are every 2 minutes (because cumulus was on and no data are read from the station datalogger) I think that it could keep them when restarting.

And if cumulus was off for a certain period of time and after restart it gets some readings from the station datalogger (which in my case and generally often is set to a lower resolution than 2 minutes) only the new data would be sparse, isn't so?

If you want it to keep the one-minute data, tell it do so - set your logging interval to one minute. The same with your station.
