I closed Cumulus, the 'please wait' form appeared, but Cumulus didn't close, even after several minutes
(My graphs appear to be plotted less frequently just after Cumulus starts up)

==My graphs appear to be plotted less frequently just after Cumulus starts up==
When running live, Cumulus plots data at 1-minute intervals. When it starts up, it pre-fills the graphs with data from the log files, which generally (depending on how you have Cumulus and your station configured) will be at less frequent intervals.
 
==I closed Cumulus, the 'please wait' form appeared, but Cumulus didn't close, even after several minutes==
If you've closed Cumulus shortly after it has downloaded a lot of data from the logger, it can take a while for the logging thread to get everything written away to disk, and Cumulus won't close until this has completed. However, in some circumstances, there seems to be a situation where Cumulus will never close, so you will need to close it with task manager. If you think you know what conditions cause this to happen, please let me know.
