goestools configuration utility #156

Open nmoon88 opened 1 year ago

nmoon88 commented 1 year ago

I have been trying to get this whole thing working and have run into a potentially annoying and intimidating issue and that is the configuration files. Normally I would not mention this but with multiple configuration files needed and even following tutorials which are incomplete at times a novice can find the setup process for goesrecv and goesproc intimidating. A graphical configuration utility which generates configuration files based upon user input would make the process so much easier. At the moment I have goesrecv working and it is receiving packets but goesproc is a mystery that I am nearly banging my head against the wall to solve. This whole suite of utilities is powerful but intimidating and hostile at the moment as I try to generate a configuration file which processes packets for all GOES-16 products and then uploads them to a network attached storage device organized into folders for each product.
