What's new in this Release?


FTP_Confirmation.exe
- Enhanced to show the meteor radiant that matches certain values.  It uses the 
  IMOcalendar.txt file as the databsae of meteor showers.  Problem is, there are only
  35 showers in the file.  This is because the necessary parameters of the showers haven't
  been properly published. 
  

IMOcalendar.txt
- Added this file as the database of meteor showers. Used by FTP_Confirmation.exe.  


vmdbrad.txt
- A meteor shower database from the VMDB site.  This file isn't used by anything, but
  it has about 130 showers.  They are sorted by the date of their maximum. 



CoincidenceParameters.txt.bak
In case you would like to try these settings, you can rename this file and use it. To use this file, it should be placed in the CAMS directory, not in the CAMS\versionHistory directory.  

AutoCal.bat
- Fixed bug in checking for an invalid meteor count in the detect file.


AutoCams.bat
- Fixed bug in logging related to being able to option (1) and being able to switch back and forth between drives. 
- Fixed an issue with the camera list variable. 
- Modified the Main Menu to add: 
    "3s. Choose date from SubmissionFiles".  
    "7a. [Obsolete]"
    "18. Report on Submission" removed.
    "DD. (hidden option to run the daily download)
- Added additional variables to the RESET subroutine. 
- Fixed bugs in "1. Choose Target Drive". 
- Modified option "10. Confirmation" as follows:
    - Handle the "RadiantAssoc.txt" file that is produced by the new FTP_Confirmation.exe.
      Now, if the file exists, it renames it to:
      "RadiantAssoc_<cameralist>_date_time.txt
    - Add "Total Confirmed" to the RadiantAssoc.txt file.
- Added code for handling the restoration of the thumbnails from the EmailFiles directory
  during "15. Restore working directories". 
- Added code for handling the movement of the Logs directory under SubmissionFiles during 
  "15. Restore working directories". 
- Added code for handling thumbnails in the PREZIPMOVE and POSTZIPMOVE.  
- Exposed the hidden option on the utility menu "70a. Thumbnails (low-res) (fireball check).
  This option runs the thumbnail program with command line options to produce very low res 
  images, but it doesn't skip any of the files.  You can quickly review these files to do
  a fireball check.  Really bright fireballs aren't caught be the MeteorDetect routines. 
- Added hidden option "DD. to perform the daily download".
