Description András Manţia 2005-05-25 12:20:29 UTC
Version:           2.1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

This is the first time I use KWeather and I already found a limitation: it shows only the report for one station and it's not easy to switch between stations. So I suggest:
- either let more KWeather applets to be added with different stations each
- add a possibility to show report for more stations
- add an easy way to switch between stations, like a menu item with the configured station names in the applet's context menu, like the "Show timezone" for the clock applet.

The applet also misses an easy way to access the handbook (you can do only from the config dialog) and there is no Report Bug entry anywhere.

In the "Selected Stations" listbox KWeather displays up-to-date weather icons for multiple stations. As it only shows icons and no further info like temperature or a weather description, this is more or less useless. Please include the full weather details in the Selected Stations" listbox. Thanks!

In light of the impeding KDE4 release, I am going through all bug reports I am involved in. To the best of my knowledge, this issue is still open.

Similar to the third suggestion in the original request, I think a right-click menu item "Select Station", that would pop-up a list of the user's selected stations to choose from.

Maybe a tabbed report, with each station in a tab, could be one solution. Other could be changing stations in sequence, like they do in TV news reports (usually on the bottom of the screen) but without sliding.

I like #5. Both suggestions make sense and each would be a great enhancement by itself.

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).
