How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Hi Steve,
I've been looking through the samplestrings.ini file and found that you CAN change the graph preview/big titles...so I changed Pressure to Barometer on both lines:
SmallGraphPressureTitle=Barometer
and
LargeGraphPressureTitle=Barometer
But, it didn't work.
How do I do this?
Thanks
William

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Hi Steve,
Sorry, that I didn't make sense the first time around.
I went into the samplestrings.ini file and then I changed.
SmallGraphPressureTitle=Pressure
To
SmallGraphPressureTitle=Barometer
Then,
LargeGraphPressureTitle=Pressure
To
LargeGraphPressureTitle=Barometer
Hope this helps...
William

Then what you need to do is follow the instructions: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Strings.ini

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Maybe it would be better to add a commented section to the ini file saying that you should rename it to strings.ini if you wish to use it, to avoid confusion or something. Just my 2 cents though.

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
I mean, the file that comes with Cumulus is called "samplestrings.ini". If you wish to use a customised version of it, you'll need to rename it to "strings.ini" so the changes take effect and Cumulus loads it, just as it says on the wiki.
What I meant was, in order to guide people better, leave a "commented" section in the file (samplestrings.ini) mentioning that you should rename it in case you do changes so Cumulus can load it.

Yes, I've done what you've said and renamed the file.
I can't understand what you mean, here:

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Technical term for a part a file won't read, to avoid errors. I'll be more simple: Leaving a note in the file itself reminding people to rename it.
I know you did it correctly, I was presenting a suggestion.

I think the point that is being missed here is that you were making the suggestion to me, not to William.Spider-Vice wrote:I know you did it correctly, I was presenting a suggestion.

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Well, yes, I thought it was clear as I was talking about adding a section to remind people that should be done. My bad, sorry.

Re: How to change Pressure to Barometer graph?
Don't worry, it's ok. I think there was just a bit of misunderstanding, a few posts back!
