This is as described at [[:Category:Ini_Files]], where some differences between the legacy Cumulus and MX are noted. Therefore if you use decimal commas and are migrating this '''year.ini''' file from Cumulus 1 to MX, you need to do an edit so all the values entries are converted to use a full stop as decimal separator. | |||
You may find it useful to read the [[Month.ini|month.ini]] page, which goes into slightly more detail as much of that applies to this file too. | |||
For more information on this file see in the Cumulus 1 help file, in the section “Data log file format”. MX has changed to an ISO date format for each new time-stamp, but otherwise the file works the same way. | For more information on this file see in the Cumulus 1 help file, in the section “Data log file format”.

If you do move "year.ini" from Cumulus 1 to Cumulus MX and were using a comma as your decimal separator (e.g. 12,1) you will need to edit your file and change each (e.g. 12,1) to use a full stop before MX can read it (e.g. 12.1). | If you do move "year.ini" from Cumulus 1 to Cumulus MX and were using a comma as your decimal separator (e.g. 12,1) you will need to edit your file and change each (e.g. 12,1) to use a full stop before MX can read it (e.g. 12.1). | ||

The diagnostic logs in | The diagnostic logs (for cumulus 1 in [[Diags folder]]) record before and after values for updates to highs and lows for monthly and annual extreme records, and can help if this file is corrupted by a false extreme. The stored values can be corrected in Cumulus 1 using the ''This month's records'' screen on the '''Edit''' menu. In MX the equivalent editor is accessed via the user interface you see in a browser. | ||
The stored values can be corrected using the functionality available in both Cumulus 1 and MX for editing this year's records. | |||
These lows and highs and their timestamps can be seen by picking the ''Highs and Lows - This year'' screen from the '''View''' menu (Cumulus 1 only - see picture on [[month.ini|this page]]). | These lows and highs and their timestamps can be seen by picking the ''Highs and Lows - This year'' screen from the '''View''' menu (Cumulus 1 only - see picture on [[month.ini|this page]]). | ||
