One who fixes a lowly user like myself's issue in a couple of hours becomes the official maintainer of the code. That's precisely why I was giving you a heads-up re: the results of my testing. A possible design flaw in the plugin is that it fetches all the data for all weather stations when you access the subdirectory from the main menu. This is OK when you have about 2-3 entries.. less so when you have defined 20-30 entries or more. Takes forever.. so maybe it would be better to retrieve the data when the user actually accesses a given weather station. Seriously, I was NOT whining, quite the contrary.. I figured some form of feedback from a real life "user" might be useful. Thanks for fixing my problem...!!! CJ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Freevo-users] portrait images are displayed upside down
Hello freevo users, I am running freevo 1.9.0 on a ubuntu-i-think-9.04. My Digicam stores the position (landscape or protrait) in the exif information. On my old roughly 1.7 based freevo system everyting worked fine. But now, when I got portrait images, the images are display upside-down, i.e. the exif information seem to be interpreted wrong. THe landscape images are ok. Any ideas about this?

Re: [Freevo-users] Weather forecast
Two things: There is definitely some form of cache issue involved. I ran your improved version of oneclick.py under my personal id, rather than the freevo id, that normally runs on vt9, and I was able to display a map for many areas, including China, South America, and various European countries. The maps you grab are great - much better than those rather useless radar maps that I for one do not know how to read. Hope they make it the official version real soon..!!! The second issue is that I tried East Islip, here on L.I. and also San Fran', CA.. and with these particular weather stations, I am still getting the error I reported in my earlier post. So could this be a problem with U.S. weather stations..? Thanks, CJ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
