Downloading Squid weather repeatedly

Hi folks,
  I've successfully managed to get my Squid account working inside Exp.  Interesting, when you click on Squid in the Wx tab, nothing appears to happen at all.  Unlike WRF and "my grib", which popup a dialog, it seems like it immediately enters a rectangular selection mode.  Not very obvious (nothing in the status bar, no cursor change) so it took me about 15 minutes to figure that one out...

However, each day I'd like to download the same area again without having to select it graphically each time.  Is it possible that there is some kind of 'update' button that would go to the same servers that provided the current gribs and simply ask for the same thing again only using the current time?

Thanks,
greg

Yes, it works the same as all the other grib downloads where you select an area (Exp, Saildocs, Squid).

There isn't a function to use area presets.

Hi Nick,
  Do you maintain a list of user-requested features?  Is there a roadmap for future releases?

Cheers,
greg

Yes, there is a lengthy roadmap, but it isn't public.
