DoppleViewer1.7.7

Very cool widget. Its nice to have both this widget and the weather widget open for more advanced weather information. It has a limited number of cities, but the maps are quite large and include a lot of the surrounding area. It would be nice if this was a animated widget though, and you could actually view say the last hour or two, instead of just a single screen shot.

I have found this widget a very useful tool. It is insalled on my tiger equipped iBook G4 laptops (2). I have zero problems and thank the author for this great widget

Please delete the old preference file in your user folder at Library/Preferences/widget-com.swannman.widget.doppleviewer.plist.

doesn't work for me either on 10.4.7 G5 PPC

The latest version of this widget closes immediately after opening on my G5 iMac running OS 10.4.7. This happens every time I try to launch it.

As of 7/4/06 or so, DoppleViewer 1.4 now says: "You have linked to, or downloaded an image from http://weather.noaa.gov or ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov National Weather Service radar images are no longer available on these servers." I hope DV is repaired soon - it's got a lot of wow factor when I show people my MacBook Pro's features. As the previous reviewer noted, it would be great to have the option of loading animated loops to see the motion. Still, a great Widget! Thanks, Swannman. L.Hann

Sorry Charlie. This is a neat widget but no more different than a webcam viewer. I went to the National weather service. http://www.crh.noaa.gov I put in my City and pulled up the Short Range Reflectivity. I copied the Image address. I then pasted it into the SlothCam Widget. This sounds like no big deal but when I did this I realized that the SlothCam Widget was updating the images before the images on the National Weather Service website. I had one image that was available 6 minutes before it was available on the website. http://www.crh.noaa.gov This is no slight to DoppleViewer 1.4 or any other version. I just though people may be interested in this. Perhaps you could add when we want it to update. Otherwise I will be using my SlothCam to view this and alos in almost full screen. Thanks.
