Text overlay -> Own variables

Post by zacken542 »

Hello
Iam testing YawCAM and have problem with own variables
version testing is 0.3.2 (Swedish language)
os =widows Vista Home Prem. (also Swedish)
all example is without quotes "text" is text

1 - I have put "{temperature}" as overlay and it shows "+15C", but if I change in the file it to for ex "+14C" it still shows "+15C" (even after reboot)

2 - If I create a file in "C:\Program Files\Yawcam\extravars" named "{ute_temp}.txt" it display "{ute_temp}" NOT whats in the file

What do I wrong here?

In version 0.3.2 the extravars directory you should use is one which is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Username (whatever your username is)\.yawcam\extravars and not the extravars directory in the main program (it used to be the one which was used in older versions but is not any more)

Thanks
That's working

I looked on this page http://www.yawcam.com/help/help_set_overlay_vars.php
this is NOT updated

And this directory" C:\Program Files\Yawcam\extravars" is created under sintallation !
it's confusing

Sorry about the help files. As you noticed they are not up to date.
I don't have time for them right now...
