Dear developer(s),
is there a reason, why you don't add all available (current condition/forecast) weather data to AccWeatherCore?
These data are downloaded always anyway by AccWeatherCore and can be found in <Path_to_Appdata>\Cache\AccuWeatherCore2SK_<AccuWeatherCode>.~tmp
(for the 15-days-forecast in: <Path_to_Appdata>\Cache\AccuWeatherCore2_<AccuWeatherCode>.~tmp)
I never understood what makes "DewPoint" so relevant and interesting to be included while others, like "PressureTendency" (which is one of the most used meteorologic terms), "CloudCover" or "Precip1hr" are not.
Here is a list of all available AccuWeather data (as said - that are already downloaded and locally stored by AccWeatherCore) *)

Do you have concrete plans to implement them (all AccuWeather data) in the near future?
I'm very interested in "PressureTendency", "Precip1hr" and "CloudCover", but other users might find different AccuWeather values more useful. Same can be said for the 15-days-forecast; there are also "hidden treasures" I would like to use with AccWeatherCore: "Hours Of Precipitation", "Hours Of Rain", "Amount of (falling) Rain", "Amount of (falling) Snow", "Hours Of Sun", "Snow Probability", "Date/time of Daily Forecasts [DailyForecasts]"... (to name a few) and some of them separated by day/night).
If not, could you add at least a new variable for the <AccuWeatherCode> in the next release?
That would make it more flexible (universal) in using WebParseCore to get these locally stored data (the way I do now, which works fine, but it's static and will not work (automatically!) if I change the weather location/town).
Many thanks in advance.
P. S.
The "Refresh interval (ms)" in "Core Settings" of the accweatherCore is without any effect since v1.88.
It does not matter what value will be entered (at least that's my experience). The only value that counts is the one that is set in the new "Weather Details/Changing Town" dialogbox (or inside the scripting code). Maybe it is a good idea to remove the obsolete one, so it will not cause any confusion/misunderstandings.
