RLIETZKE  I really like this app. It works just the way I wan't.

If I could have only 1 more thing it would be an animated radar as opposed to the static radar.

E_COMMERCE  So *that* is what has been doing that on my computer! I'll post a message on the Meteo forums to make sure this is seen.

GOLDYN CHYLD  Best menubar weather app for Mac. Period. I've been using it ever since I switched to Mac about a year and a half ago. Indispensable! I just hope weather.com won't keep messing up the app so that it can work properly.

E_COMMERCE  "Now only gets up to 5 days of forecast weather regardless of requested value."

Oh, that's just inexcusable in a released product. Not the limitation - the fact that the UI doesn't match what the program does.

This was discussed in the forums during the beta period. If you're going to limit it to only retrieving the first page of results, then update the UI to match (i.e., only allow selecting up to 5 days). If you're going to show up to 9 days in the UI, then pull as many pages of results as are needed to reach that. Otherwise your UI promises the program will do something that it cannot.

MAMAMOOSE  I too had trouble with Met 1.5.0. Wouldn't open in Mac OS 10.6.3 running on a quad Msc Pro nor in OS 10.6.2. Log says

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'NSApp with wrong _running count'

I deleted the one p-list preference file I found in Library>Preferences. Is there more than one? Please list location of all preferences.

Thanks,

Tom Casselman

INDYCHRIS  Kudos to the developers of this app. It's free, and I can only imagine how frustrating it is to him to have it change after just updating the app. Meteorologist is by far my favorite weather app of all time! If there's anything we can do via donations to help expedite a more permanent fix, please let us know. I am sure many of us would gladly donate a few $$ to keep Meteorologist up and running more consistently!
