I'm a little late to the party this morning, but I uninstalled the Alpha and the Beta 32 upgrade went great with all YoWindow 2 settings found including registration.

I have never used the screensaver before but thought I'd try it out this morning. It doesn't update with weather from the PWS for me, is that correct?

Hi Pasha,
I installed B32 before buckup the Version 2 (I red your warning too late

) and surprise: everything is on the right place
All locations, landscapes and the other options are installed without any problem (incl my PWS)
So from my point of view you can start on tuesday

Thank you friends!
Jim, I will check PWS in screen-saver mode as soon as I found some time.
I hope it is easy to fix.
Thanks for letting me know.

It turned out that yo3 did not pick up update interval from your script, Jim.
http://jcweather.us/yowindow-xml.php
This was because yo3 expects <auto_update> tag to be a child of <current_weather> (this is how it is documented in
http://yowindow.com/doc/yowindow_pws_format.xml)
yo2 did manage somehow to handle both formats.
So I have adjusted yo3 to pick auto_update in both cases.
I have tested your script in Saver Mode after this, and it looks like the weather is being updated.
Please check out b34 and let me know if the problem resolved.

Pasha, thanks for taking a look at it. I will have to fix my script up so that it matches the documentation.
Thanks. - Jim
