Yeah, this is reasonable. *** Bug 486908 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Yeah, this is reasonable. Well, Happy New 2025. 😁 Seriously, please add this functionality this year, it's soooo missing. I'd do it myself if I knew programming, but I don't. > The weather information often doesn't refresh after resume or at login
As of Plasma 6.3.0, it will! This ideally should eliminate the need for a manual refresh button.

The real problem is that if the session starts or resumes without any internet connection, for example for someone who uses a USB 4G dongle which is connected after the session finishes loading, or he/she starts the home router after the session is already started, after the connection to internet is established it will never trigger any automatic refreshing to weather widget and user should wait for all that timeout (default 30 min) to get weather info. It would never hurt to have a small icon button at top right of the widget window to force manual refresh. Or add an event that triggers automatic update to weather widget whenever the system connects to internet. That's exactly the use case we fixed, in fact! See Bug 498009. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > That's exactly the use case we fixed, in fact! See Bug 498009. Thanks for your efforts Nate :) You're welcome, but I had nothing to do with it! It was all Ismael. So, if I got it right, the widget will constantly monitor if internet connection is on, after login/reload, right? Or at least, it will always try to refresh itself if data is missing. Then yeah, the button won't be needed anymore. Can't wait to see this, hopefully soon. Even better: it connects to networkmanager's "I got network connectivity again!" signal, so it gets notified instantly without having to poll at all. |
