Version: (using KDE 4.2.90) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Both weather stations widgets are broken in kde 4.3 Beta 2 (4.2.90). Specifically, the Weather Forecast widget experiences text overrun and the update interval cannot be set to less that 30 minutes: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/widget-WeatherForecase-TextOverrun.jpeg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/widget-WeatherForecast-UpdtInterval.jpeg The update interval needs to be configurable in 1 minute intervals. Many of the weather stations used by the applets AWOS stations that issue SPECI special bulletins when weather criteria hazardous to aviation occur. That information is needed when it occurs, not on kde4's 30min, 40min, etc.. schedule. Just use a simple integer input like has always been done to allow the update interval to be set by the user... Next: The LCD Weather Station widget is blank regardless of which weather source is chosen. I tried Dallas/Addison (KADS), Nacogdoches Regional (KOCH), and a number of other stations and the LCD widget would not display a thing: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/widget-LCDWeatherStation-blank.jpeg Both applets look cool and would be very useful if they would just work. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
Please attach the files directly in the bug report, do not use an online service, thanks in advance. The first picture is unreachable.
those are 2 issues: the update time and the fact that now the applets do not work anymore, thats bug 197712
Sorry for the typo in the first image: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/widget-WeatherForecast-TextOverrun.jpeg The images are not on a "service", they are on my server. I'll attach them if you like, but generally everyone else has preferred images just be posted on my site.

Created attachment 34914 [details] All Weather Applets Update Interval ditto on konqueror not remembering the last file directory....
Ideally the ion should be able to initiate when an update happens. However, right now we set a minimum of 30 minutes to prevent overwhelming the providers.
LCD weather station looks fixed, but the Weather Forecast Widget still experiences horrible text overrun and resizing the widget to make the widgetbig enough for the text, that makes the widget take up 1/2 the screen. The font needs to be a user selection so it can be set as large or as small as needed. Here is a current screenshot from 4.3-0.1 http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/weather-working.jpeg
In trunk I have moved all the details information into a 'Currently' Tab, we still have that text overrun problem at the moment. We are looking at how to to fix this

I've used the LCD Weather Plasmoid since KDE 4.2.2. It works fine for me in 4.3.0 other than the fact that the temperature always displays with a ".0". So far, 0 is the only digit I've seen after the decimal point. Under 4.2.2, I would have seen "60" degrees, but under 4.3.0 I see "60.0" degrees. The screenshot linked in comment #8 illustrates this new behavior. Personally, I'd like to see the ".0" disappear or make the temperature's displayed precision a user-configurable option. If '0' is the only decimal value that's ever going to appear, displaying it seems to unnecessarily clutter the display especially if the plasmoid is docked in the panel.
I am renaming this bug because the issues in Weather Forecast (for KDE 4.4) are fixed.
