> How can I change the file paths in the generated ncml file? All I do is > select "aggregate grid files" for the data source type. Then I use > Ctrl+Click to select multiple netcdf files for the data source, which gives > me the error. I also tried manually editing the .ncml file after this step, > but I still don't know how to use it as a data source in IDV. > > I switched to my linux box, since there is no need to change the file paths. > It didn't give me an error this time, but it only loaded the first netCDF > file without grouping them together. > Humm, can you send in 2 or 3 of the files you are using and we'll look at them? > I'm using the latest available version of IDV on both environments. > Sorry, I forgot that the IDV is generating the ncml.
