See the "Breaking Change" section below before updating! The imagery categories in the main menu are now customizable! Instead of being stuck with "Full Disk", "Level 2 Imagery", "EMWIN Imagery", and "Mesoscale Imagery", you can now change the name, icon, and contents of all these pages - and add your own categories!
On GOES-16/18, NWS Images are now viewable
On GOES-16/18, the "Level 2 Imagery" has been renamed to "Non-CMIP Imagery" by default
Image filenames can now be parsed if the name or timestamp are in different parts of the filename. See the config docs for supported modes.
Added some missing emwin imagery into sample emwin.ini configs
Improved error handling and bug fixes - most errors will now display on the screen instead of making the program lock up at "Loading, Please Wait..."
There have been major changes to the configuration in this version
config.ini is now the only hard-coded config file
To load other ini files (categories) and their associated imagery, config.ini must have a [categories] section with one or more ini files defined under it
Each of these secondary ini files must also have a [_category_] header at the top to define its name and icon
Secondary ini files can also be named anything
See the config docs for details on configuration. Scriptconfig.ini has not been affected by this change - although you can remove the GOES-17 references within it.
Migrating an old configuration to 1.4+
Assuming you want to keep loading your original abi.ini, meso.ini, l2.ini, and emwin.ini files, here's how to migrate:
In config.ini, add a categories section after the [general] section:
Edit abi.ini and add the following at the very top:
[_category_]
title = "Full Disk"
icon = globe-americas
Edit l2.ini and add the following at the very top:
[_category_]
title = "Non-CMIP Imagery"
icon = atom
Edit meso.ini and add the following at the very top:
[_category_]
title = "Mesoscale Imagery"
icon = search-plus
Edit emwin.ini:
Add the following at the very top:
[_category_]
title = "EMWIN Graphics"
icon = image
For every EMWIN image defined, rename the path setting to filter and remove the file extension
Add the following lines into every image defined in emwin.ini, replacing GOES16 with GOES18 if necessary:
mode = emwin
path = {GOES16}/emwin
The only difference between the old and new abi.ini, l2.ini, and meso.ini files is the addition of the [_category_] header, but the emwin.ini conversion is trickier because it now acts like other secondary ini files.
Here is an comparison between and old and new emin.ini image section:
Note: the sample configs for GOES-16 and GOES-18 now have a new nws.ini file. If you're migrating, you might want to grab one of the nws samples and incorporate it into your setup!
Sample Configs have been added for the following satellites:
