Other than subclassing ucar.unidata.ui.imagery.AddeImageChooser and adding the necessary code to allow a selection, there is no quick fix. I would suspect there is no way to query the server to find out a list of days either, so all I could think of is a text box that would allow you to specify a day and then you'd pass that along on the request. There are many hooks in the AddeImageChooser class to add on extra ADDE parameters. > As it is global data i would like to add spatial limitations by specifying a > region of interest. Again, you could create your own chooser with a map selector. Currently the only way to do that with the existing chooser is to specify the center point and use the lines/elem and magnifications to get the region you want. That's the McIDAS way. ;-) > ****************** > Stack trace: > edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas.AreaFileException: Error opening AreaFile: > edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas.adde.AddeURLException: DAY= must be used with archived > datasets > at edu.wisc.ssec.mcidas.AreaDirectoryList.<init>(AreaDirectoryList.java:131) > at > ucar.unidata.ui.imagery.AddeImageChooser.loadImages(AddeImageChooser.java:1404) > at > ucar.unidata.ui.imagery.AddeImageChooser.readTimesInner(AddeImageChooser.java:1374) > at ucar.unidata.ui.imagery.AddeImageChooser$11.run(AddeImageChooser.java:1342) > at ucar.unidata.util.Misc$2.run(Misc.java:931) Don Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RPK-773680 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
