[IDV #ETX-669397]: problem saving cached data in zipped bundle

Hi Tom-

Why do you use the formula instead of selecting the level in the 
Levels tab of the Data Subset?

There are only certain data sources that we know how to write out
and read back in.  Since we don't have a generic VisAD Data writer,
the cached dataset doesn't show up in the list of data sources that
we know how to save.

> I'm thinking there should be a checkbox or something next to the
> cached data....??

We would have to know how to write out the VisAD Data object and read the 
it back in for that to work and at this point we can't.

The only work around I have is to use the File->Save->Export Displayed Data..
or the Export->Export Grid to NetCDF formula to write out the data
to a netCDF file.  Then load that data source in and display it.  Then it 
should 
should show up when you go to save the zidv file.
