My installation of Cumulus MX has succeeded, and as the experiment did help me find a mistake in one of my Cumulus templates where I had not defined input parameters for "Recent History", it has been useful. I am continuing to use Cumulus 1 for the moment, until I am absolutely sure MX can do everything I want. I believe it will do some tasks better, but there is a lot more to learn about how to use it. | My installation of Cumulus MX has succeeded, and as the experiment did help me find a mistake in one of my Cumulus templates where I had not defined input parameters for "Recent History", it has been useful. I am continuing to use Cumulus 1 for the moment, until I am absolutely sure MX can do everything I want. I believe it will do some tasks better, but there is a lot more to learn about how to use it. While I was using Cumulus 1, I found with my Chas Olsen Fine Offset I had to define [[Cumulus.ini#Introduced_for_problems_with_Fine_Offset_family:|EWpressureoffset=x.y ]] otherwise Cumulus 1 frequently failed to read the correct pressure. In implementing MX, I decided to try without that line in the new Cumulus.ini file; I have not had any problems either when I first ran MX or indeed 2 months later when it is more than a month since I last ran Cumulus 1. Consequently, if you used to have pressure reading problems, you might find you don't with MX. | ||
Some days later, I have tried out more MX features, been happy with those, and as MX is now doing all I want I have stopped using Cumulus 1. I still use my own PHP script to update my database tables, I tried the custom SQL and it does not do all I want. I have done a little editing of the user interface, partly to discover how easy it is to edit, partly to understand better how it works. For each file I have edited (HTML or CSS) I have kept copy of original and made a second copy of my edited version, so I cam easily go back to original and if I download a new release I won't lose the copies of my edited versions of files. | Some days later, I have tried out more MX features, been happy with those, and as MX is now doing all I want I have stopped using Cumulus 1.
