Great Widet but I've run into a problem lately. I can't run the Widget and get a message stating that "Can not find file of filenames tag in map index."

version 1.3 Howard Deiner
Just updated Stormy Weather!
2.0 - Really fix disappearing windows problem. Honest.
Allow artibrary resize on windows using grabs on widget corners.
UI refresh (ala Photo Ace! reference), including squared windows, dividers, etc.
Selectable layers for topography, counties, rivers, highways, cities, warnings, legend.
Remember zoom and drag settings between sessions.
Enable mouse wheel zooms.
Add support for Composite loop data for 10 sectors now suported by NOAA.
Composi…te loops sorta suck, as NOAA now uses aminated GIFs, which aren't suported well in Konfabulator. Still, it's a picture...
Add context menu support for map type changes and layer toggles.
Serialized radar image fetches, as large numbers of asynch URL fetches seem to give Konfabulator problems. :-((
As usual, if it takes a while for this to appear in the Widget Gallery, I'd be glad to send you a copy. Just eMail me at howard.deiner@deinersoft.com. BTW, this versMore

Hi Unibob and others!
I am working on a new Stormy Weather! that will fix the issues brought about by NOAA enhancing to RIDGE radar. A new widget is in the works that will not only fix the issue but will add in the new functionality. Bear with me.

version 1.3 Unibob
excellent program, I love it, only problem is that my local NWS office has changed thier radar last week from the normal type (black map with base reflectivity) to the new enhanced type map which is being updated also on several other local office pages. MY local NWS is APX (Gaylord, MI). maybe look into that, because the widget stopped being able to retrieve the data right when this update occured.

Thanks for the response. As for me personally, I am much more interested in the layers and looping capability than the distance/direction stuff... maybe you could save that for v2.0.
