Cumulus Support

Steve in the help it says

If a file called 'currentconditions.txt' exists in the same directory as the Cumulus executable, the contents of this file will be used for the web tag instead. The file will be deleted if the text in the current conditions box is modified.

I am not modifying the current conditions box but the file still seems to be deleted after it is used? Am I reading this incorrectly?

When the file is read as a result of the web tag being processed, the current conditions box on the main screen is updated with the contents of the file. Hence, the file is deleted. I'll update the help to make this clear.

Aha I see, thanks.

What I have done is create a CurrentCondT.txt file and treat it like all the other templates. I upload my text to the CurrentCondT.txt file and have it treated as a real-time upload to the Cumulus folder on the PC so it stays active until I change it. I pull NWS 7 day forecast and use it for that. I upload as the forecast is updated.

Cheers
Doug
