Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

That sounds doable (although I'm nervous about cut & paste on the phone, I've never been able to use it very well myself). I'm kind of more concerned about how I display this collection to the user; I guess it would have to be a list of some sort, with a name (and maybe some user-defined description?) for each collection. Hmm. I'll see what I can come up with...

This would not be a surprise. :) I'm sure there are plenty more bugs yet to be fixed. It wouldn't be as much fun if it was perfect from the very start. :)

By the way, you may know this but the Fettucine "Webcam Info" screen cuts off the display of long URL's - I had to open the URL in MicroB & then read it from there.

Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

Hmm. When I try to load the gif file associated with that page,

http://images.intellicast.com/WxImag..._None_anim.gif

it comes up almost instantly. I also tried feeding the web page's own URL to Fettuccine, but it fails to load (which is what should happen). I'm not sure what's going on here...

Hmm. I've got the "word wrap" option set on those labels, but apparently that's not working with links. :( I'll try changing from a QLabel to a QTextView, maybe that'll work better...

Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

Word wrap only wraps where there is a word boundary, so it doesn't generally work with URLs, unless there is unencoded whitespace.

EDIT: QTextEdit has more fine-grained wrapping options, so that might be the best option. Setting the stylesheet to "background: transparent" should be enough to obtain a QLabel-like appearance.

Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

Yup, just tried it out, and it works much better. I'm not sure I really need to make it look like a QLabel, either; I suppose I really should put a little more effort into both what the info screen should contain as well as how it should look. :) Thanks!

Possible bug?
Seems on startup I get "Textlabel" instead of the text.

I am slowly compiling a list of UK traffic motorway cameras I currently only have Lancashire but I hope to release a finished full categorised UK XML file in the future.

Maybe XML files could be plugin based like multimote?

Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

Yes, definitely a bug. :) I'm not initializing the label correctly on startup. (I should have fixed it already, but I've been spending way too much time playing around with Linguine...)

Sounds like a good idea, let me take a look! :)

Since i'm almost unsatisfied of many meteo services... I have found that the only way to know if there is a REAL storm arriving over my head (or car) is:

Maybe someone else could find this useful.

@Copernicus
for one of the next releases, if you need some idea to add a function... some kind of image crop would be useful.

Re: [Announce] Fettuccine - A webcam aggregator app
 

Ah, interesting idea! I'll take a look... :)

..or even expose to an external command line tweak ;)
