Since a couple of nightlies McV has problems with reading a colour table file at start-up. It repeatedly issues the following message before McV starts up for good:
Error reading color table file: C:\Users\hproe_000\McIDAS-V\plugins\http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ssec.wisc.edu%2Fmcidas%2Fsoftware%2Fv%2Fresources%2Fplugins%2Fgeovista.jar!/YlOrRd.tbl unknown protocol: idvresource
Hi HP, Thanks for reporting this issue. The error shows that the color table is likely from the "Geovista Color Tables" plugin in the Color Tables branch of the Plugin Manager. We think the problem is related to the http/https issue that is written up in inquiry 2610. We'll get back to you when we have an update on it being fixed.
