- Introduction
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- WebVision is a viewer program for a fairly recent phenomenon on the World
- Wide Web - web cameras. Web cameras are recorded images published on the web
- and updated at regular intervals. They may show everything from a TV channel
- or somebody's living room to the weather in a city in northern Norway.
-
- You can view these images with a regular webbrowser, you can even have it
- update the page at regular intervals, but WebVision offers a more specialized
- and optimized approach. Web camera sites are configured in a special
- window and viewing one opens a dedicated window, which is sized exactly to
- fit the camera image. Update delay, save directory and other parameters
- are easily configured individually for each camera.
-
- For registered users, an Internet update server is available that allows you
- to exchange sites with other WebVision users. At the last count, this
- database contained over 600 webcams, with more being added all the time.
-

- Version history
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- WebVision 2.2 (26.9.99)
- · The &e expansion character only worked right when placed at the end of a
- filename. (Dean Husby)
-
- · Sigh... the WV 2.1 Listtree.mcc workaround wasn't right, I think I
- finally identified the real problem and worked around it. An annoying
- sideeffect of this "fix" is that closed groups will be opened if any sites
- need to be deleted inside them.
- (Sigbjørn Skjæret)
-
- · Changed back to prefer Textinput.mcc over BetterString.mcc.
-
- · Changed the way the CGX VideoLayer is attached to the window, this should
- cure the problem with overwriting the windowborder. (Frank Mariak)
-
- · Now uses Popplaceholder.mcc by Marcin Orîowski for autosave formatting codes.
- (PiKe)
-
- · Cloning enhanced, you can now clone groups, and the cloned node is scrolled
- into view.
- (PiKe)
-
- · Added a contextmenu over the camwindows, with same entries as the Site menu.
