Question about http download in WD

I’d like to use the http download function in weather-display to download webcam pictures every soandso minutes. Basically, it works, but if I download a picture called picture.jpg, the next time the old picture is renamed to picture.jpg1 and kept on the HD. I would like to just overwrite the old picture.

How can I do this?

If I am not mistaken the file will collect up to the last 5 downloads and you would end up with:

picture.jpg
picture.jpg1
picture.jpg2
picture.jpg3
picture.jpg4
picture.jpg5

and then no more… The most current would always be picture.jpg…

Bob’s correct, and my original source of that information which is in FAQ http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/12282

re the customtext out problem…
it must be a 3600 station type thing…
i will re do things, and make it different/more uniform and then let you know…

Great, thanks!
