Camera Images question

Hi all,

I am having some slight issues with the weather cam setup and how everything ties together. I’ll list them individually and see what shakes out.

  1. Various images are missing or named incorrectly
    I’ve attached a directory listing below to illustrate what I am talking about here. I have it set to capture an image every minute and upload to both my weather site and also to the WU site. What I am finding is that some images show as being captured, but when viewed in the directory, they have the same file information (time/date stamp) as the previous image. This may only involve two images or it may involved several. It appears to be basically random in nature meaning it doesn’t happen at the same time during the hour or during the day. Any ideas as to what is happening here and how to stop it?

  2. All Day Video is not all day
    This is not a big deal but I can’t seem to make the software capture an image all day and make the movie from them. It seems to start around 4:00am (even though the images are being captured starting at midnight) and it quits around 8:30pm (which is when the images also quit since I can’t make it keep going past this point. Any ideas on this one to extend it to cover the remainder of the day?

  3. Image Overlay Disappears after program restart or reboot
    The images I am saving have the overlay tags enabled but when the computer reboots it refuses to place the overlay on the picture again unless I click on the camera program icon in the program bar and click the “Save” button. Once I click the “Save” button again, the overlay appears exactly in the place where it was before the program was restarted. Any ideas as to how I can make this “remember” to do this without going in and clicking the “Save” button every time?

Maybe some of you folks that are more experienced with the inner workings of the software have either already fixed something like this or know how to do so. I keep trying different things and then waiting to see if it has helped but so far I’m not making much headway.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.
