Hi,
I tried IDV 2.8 and found out that it's not detecting OPeNDAP Grids
automatically when I use "I'm Feeling Lucky" in Data Source Type.
It prompts the "Adde Text" instead. I haven't seen this problem in
the previous versions of IDV.
To verify it, please try the following OPeNDAP Grid:
http://acdisc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/opendap/HDF-EOS5/Aura_OMI_Level3/OMTO3d.003/2010/OMI-Aura_L3-OMTO3d_2010m0101_v003-2010m0106t053032.he5
Is there a new option in IDV 2.8 to make the automatic detection work?
The IDV uses string patterns to try to figure out what kind of data
source a url or file is. It just isn't matching your url. The prompt for
"Adde Text" does not indicate that the IDV thinks this is ADDE Text
data. Rather, that data source type is just the first one in the list.
Attached is a plugin that you can install (copy to
~/.unidata/idv/DefaultIdv/plugins or install it with the Plugins Manager
under the Tools menu). This datasource.xml file just defines a new type
- HDF-EOS5 data source, that just has the pattern: "HDF-EOS". Now, when
you enter the above url with the plugin installed it will pick up on the
pattern and create the right kind of data source automatically.
