Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux ICAO given in KWeather settings base is awfully out of date. This one seems to be better - https://www.notams.jcs.mil/icao/.
Damn. Don't write anything if you haven't have coffee yet. First sentence of report should be - ICAO base located in URL given in KWeather settings is awfully out of date.
that site seems to be down
Subject: Re: ICAO base is out of date > that site seems to be down Works fine here.
I'm not sure if you will find a good (not out-of-date) database for ICAO codes. But I agree that your link seems to be better. Some links I found... A good source for information seems to be: http://www.dlangley.demon.co.uk/icao.htm On this site you can find text files for the codes: http://www.wajb.freeserve.co.uk/codes.htm The only definite source for Location Indicators is (just $110): http://icaodsu.openface.ca/mainpage.ch2 and search for document number 7910/109 Christian

Asia/Thailand is still missing in kweather in kde 3.3_rc1. Code is VTBD. Will kde 3.3 ship without weather info for one of the world's prime holiday locations ?

KWeather shouldn't include its own country names but use KLocale::twoAlphaToLanguageName() instead. Likewise weather_stations.desktop contains the names of weather stations which is redundant since the same information is already present in stations.dat It may also make sense to remove the country name from stations.dat and use the two-alpha language-code there instead. UI wise I don't understand why I need to enter a ICAO code in the "Display" tab when the "Weather Service" tab seems to ask for the same information in a much more user-friendlier way. (But with many stations that are listed in stations.dat missing)
Hi Waldo, As usual, once you point your finger into something, magic is operating and things suddenly start to work ;-) Thanks a lot !
I am thinking for the next rev of KDE I am just going to use the KHotNewStuff classes to update this file between releases. Since its regenerated nightly here, it would make sense that I can post it somewhere and have it automagicly updated. Cheers -ian reinhart geiser
In Latvia (Europe) we have two working weather stations: EVRA - Riga EVLA - Liepaja PS. Gnome weather applet has more weather stations and Riga weather station works "out of box" ;)
To comment #8: Using KLocale::twoAlphaToLanguageName() can not be done as it seems that the country codes in weather_stations.desktop are not the one from the ISO used in KLocale (e.g. OS is used for Austria, but the ISO defines this to be AT). Probably the country 2-letter codes in this app are coming from the ICAO
kweather isn't maintained anymore. A replacement could be the weather plasmoid. If this bug is still valid for the weather plasmoid please open a bug against it (Product: plasma, Component: widget-weather).
