#6782 closed patch (fixed)

MythWeather only allows one location/source per screen type.

Description

On the trunk MythWeather? is only allowing one location/source per screen type.

If you add two or more screens of the same type, MythWeather? works correctly until you exit MythWeather? and reenter. When you reenter all screens that have the same type contain data for the screen with the greatest draw order.

This is caused because of the way the 'ScreenListInfo?' object is created and accessed.

Using a copy constructor when loading the screen data instead of pointer assignment fixes the problem.

Marc, while your patch does fix the issue I haven't applied it yet because there's a small problem of it leaking memory. The copies of the ScreenListInfo?'s you are creating are never freed. Any chance you could fix that?

Yeah I did notice that after I submitted the patch, but got side tracked hunting down some other memory leaks in MythWeather?. I'll update the patch and create a new ticket for some other leaks I found.
