- Causes errors to be indicated in
the Status Window rather than as a popup dialog. Popup dialogs may
interfere with unattended scripting. This does not yet support all
errors in Digital Atmosphere -- if you see dialogs that this error does not
catch, write down the text in the dialog and report it to us.
Automatically check for updates - Causes Digital Atmosphere, when first started up,
to check the weathergraphics.com site. If a new version is detected, you
will be asked whether you'd like to close Digital Atmosphere and proceed to
the website. If you choose "no", Digital Atmosphere will
ask whether or not you want to be reminded about this upgrade every time
Digital Atmosphere starts.
Provide information messages - You can use this to "turn off"
informational dialog windows (dialogs that give you information but have no
bearing on how the program is executed). One example where informational
dialog boxes are used is when a climatological dataset is generated and you
are given a tip on how to plot the data. By unchecking this setting, you can
choose not to see these messages. This will also help prevent lost data when
running Digital Atmosphere unattended with its scheduler going.
