Decimal digits display

Post by par »

I suppose most people are not interested in extra decimal digits for the weather parameters.
Do you agree with me guys?

Because of this, I think the feature must be optional.

And I think it must be even for advanced users only.
Agree?

I need time do create the user interface for decimal digits customization.
This is not an easy work, will take a couple of hours.

As long as this is feature for the advanced users, it has a low priority.

If you want this feature to be available soon, please vote in this post.
I want to see at least 3 people to make sure I make it not for Ray only.

I really have a lot of other important work to do.

Do you want to see animals in the landscape or you want to see a decimal digit in the temperature?
Make your choice.

Jim, when the rain rate displayed in inches it has 1 decimal digit now.
Do you think it is enough for most users?
Or 2 digits is a better choice?

I know I have already asked for the decimal but was wondering how difficult will it be to add the decimals? My weather software (Weather Display) can already supply the decimals for the values mentioned above.

I have thought about the same thing and especially missed the decimal
s on the rain figures. I held off though thinking that some day we'd be able to "maximize" the inspector and show all of the PWS data that's available, then it might be more appropriate there. But yes, even in the current inspector I think the rain is important.

I vote for the animals :) (but i don't have a PWS (yet))

For me (personally and subjective) it doesn't make a difference if i see a "10" or "10.5" - no matter if temperature/rain/wind/pressure/humidity/...; especially when choosing clothes for going out into real-life.

(But nevertheless i do know: if you have a PWS which supports decimals you want to see it - ask me again in about one year ;) )

I'll have to go with the animals too, but we'll need a unicorn option.

For rain rate in inches, 2 decimals are needed to see a light rain and for accumulation 1 place is adequate.

I have set rain/snow rate to display 2 decimal digits by default, but daily rain total displayed with 1 decimal digit.

Thanks!

We will think about Unicorn.
