I've just tried many of them and they all seem to work
The source I'm using is a little glitchy sometimes, but until we get .gif support in Keyhole (*AHEM*), it'll have to do.
(Thanks for the backup there, Hill.)
(I *will* get around to tweaking the viewpoint on some of those NEXRAD images, promise. I'm working on something else at the moment which, all modesty aside, will kick ass ... just as soon as I can iron out the bugs.)

I cant wait till we do get gif control but the thought came to me while going through these and by the way I love them thanx for the work.
My thought was sort of based on the play function. Couldnt it be possible to load a series of overlays like a loop into one folder then simply start on the first one and hit play ???
I know its crude but, its a thought. Perhaps not well thought out but the spirit of the idea is good

It would be nice, yes, but unfortunately it's not that simple. There are two immediate stumbling blocks:
Firstly: for those of us with the el cheapo LT/NV version of Keyhole (and that's most of us), it's only possible to view one overlay at a time.
Secondly: Pro users can switch on multiple overlays. And while this is nice for flying from place to place on autopilot (tracking the path of a hurricane, for example), what I think you're getting at is the ability to view a timelapse movie of, say, the last half-hour's rainfall over the Bay Area. This means viewing the same patch of ground, so simply switching on all your overlays is going to create a nasty Picasso effect.
There is a solution, though. With various scripting doohickies, it's possible to feed dynamic image URLs to Keyhole. Check the attachment if you'd like to see a timelapse of my local NEXRAD doppler radar over the last half hour.
(You may have to double-click the folder to force Keyhole to fly to the location. There are five images, changing every ten seconds.)
I'm working on expanding this. But ... I'm a hundred pages into a hundred books, y'know?

Hey that was cool. You say its changing every 10 seconds. This could be awesome if the time between changes was much smaller.
Hey, not knocking it at all this at least gives the progression.
Think your on track.
Oh well, someday, cant help but think a update will come along and we can have gif control. I suppose with this we would simply convert the images into one gif and let it play and when nexrad updates so will the gif image. That would be a real problem solver I think.

A little suggestion... Can Canadian temperatures please be in Celsius for the next version? Other than that, great job!

Greetings! I am quite interested in experimenting with your weather center folder, but I seem to be having some difficulty with it. I have read the thread and made sure that the particular overlay that I chose to view at that time was the only one active. When I activate it, I get a red box presumably over the area where the image would be displayed that informs me that the overlay is loading. Unfortunately, it never actually loads. If you or anyone else could offer some insight on this, I would appreciate it. Thanks,
Enkidu

I'm late joining this thread, but I just downloaded your placemark and clicked it on--and wow! The world lit up. I have the GE+ version that allows all the overlays to load, and they did. It's quite a piece of work for just being bored. I hope to stumble upon your other kick-ass project one of these days.

Am I blind, or is there no USA coverage for the Current Conditions?
I see US coverage for Forecasts, NEXRAD, and Infrared - but not Current Conditions.
If I'm not being blind, could this be added, please?
