(Version 1.4.8)

ONLOOKER  I have set up a fan page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/We-want-Meteo/268344146826?v=info

for people to show their support for Meteo.  
(Version 1.4.8)

TOXICTHREE  I speak for the rest... Probably the single utility I use most often and beautifully designed. I'd also be glad to contribute.  
(Version 1.4.8)

HARV  The developer just posted this:

It's great to see that Meteorologist still has so many faithful users, particularly since Meteo hasn't had a release in nearly 2.5 years. I will do my best to release a new version of Meteo in the coming days/weeks, although I'm currently traveling for business. I noticed that a few other people have offered to help patch the code, and I would welcome those patches!

Thanks,

Joe

Whew! I have no problems waiting knowing a fix is in progress-  
(Version 1.4.8)

ANJIN_1  I guess this project is dead. What a shame as this was such a nice app.

It is time to find something else. What are people using instead?  
(Version 1.4.8)

PEDRORS  Since 1/11 Meteorologist doesn't work anymore, it got frozen on that date in both my computers.

Anyone else with the same problem?

Version 1.4.8 (build 6)

BIDULE  Tried on SL, I could nomore add some cities. Then, I found a new "weather.xml" to replace the one inside the latest app

Click on the arrow beside "Attached files" to see the download. Works now, thanks to pangloss.

BDKENNEDY1  This used to be my favorite weather program. After giving up on this years ago, I decided to come back and see what's new. To my surprise the long-awaited 2.0 still isn't here. Instead it's only received minor bug fixes since 2003.

What a shame.

WCITYMIKE  Because Meteorologist makes the source code available, you can download it, rip out the NSLog lines that are spamming the system.log, and recompile it. I did this -- with little technical know-how, although it does require a little study -- and now have a blissfully quiet Meteorologist.  
(Version 1.4.8)

MONOCLAST  This is a great application that does a great job of keeping you updated about weather conditions, and is very stable and relatively bug-free. The user interface - in particular the preferences - could use some work in terms of better organization and usability, but what is there works.

One gripe I have with this application is for several releases now it's polluted the system log with entries like these:

Jul 21 12:36:57 mono Meteorologist[191]: Fetching URL: http://www.weather.com/weather/mpdwcr/tenday?locid=USTX0225

Jul 21 12:41:55 mono Meteorologist[191]: Fetching URL: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/USTX0225

Jul 21 12:41:55 mono Meteorologist[191]: Fetching URL: http://www.weather.com/weather/mpdwcr/tenday?locid=USTX0225

Jul 21 12:41:55 mono Meteorologist[191]: Weather.com URL: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/USTX0225

And it does this each time it checks for updated weather, which means my logs typically have over FIVE HUNDRED such entries a DAY! For instance, here's the count for today (and the day is far from over):

# cat /var/log/system.log | grep Meteorologist | sort | wc -l

459

Obviously having these messages interspersed with critical messages in the log makes casually scanning the logs for other pertinent information a pain in the ass. In fact, i typically have ti filter the Meteorologist messages out to view my logs efficiently, which means viewing them through the command line and using grep to filter.

This may not bother the developer, but it's surely irritating to others. I realize this is a freeware application, and I'm not giving it a bad rating for this; but I really hope the author will stop logging unimportant data like this to the system log in a future update! Put this stuff in the console log if you must, but keep it out of our system logs, please!
