Thanks for your comment.
Yes, it's intentional, I forgot to mention it in the Changelog file.
I noticed cwp crashes when closed if run from plasmoidviewer, so I changed this stuff in Plasma_CWP::~Plasma_CWP().
Still I don't see the reason for the crashes though. - Sep 14 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by jaegerschnitzel 1067 comments

Sorry, cwp already uses the default font type:

Plasma::Theme::defaultTheme()->font( Plasma::Theme::DefaultFont )

however, the font type is saved and restored on plasma restart, so if you change your plasma font meanwhile, it won't be changed in cwp. - Aug 11 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by jaegerschnitzel 1067 comments

That's a good idea, I'll try to use desktop font type as default font.

The plasmoid font size depends on the information type (current temperature is larger than other kind of information, ...) and the available space. So the font sizes can't really be the same as the desktop font size.

Please try to resize the plasmoid a little broader.
CWP will resize the font to fit the text inside the available space.

Thanks for your comment.
1) I cannot reproduce the problem, with single or double mouse click enabled in KDE system settings. I selected several files inside the result lists, but it didn't open a single file.
2) I implemented a command line option "--minimized", which will start komparator4 minimized to system tray, if you enabled the system tray icon inside komparator4 settings. The next version will come with this feature. - Jul 26 2010

If you are compiling from sources, can you edit the file "plasma-cwp.cpp" and remove the line

setMinimumSize( 150, 150 );

and check, if it works? - Jun 30 2010

The weather information is provided as text, which means it cannot be transformed into other units.
But there are some weather providers using strange units, usually those using Fahrenheit. So just choose a provider with "°F" in its name, e.g. "www.weather.com (°F)".
But I guess there will be none with mph (angloamerican units) and kPa (SI units) combined (never saw kPa for pressure anyway, just hPa). - Apr 25 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by jaegerschnitzel 1067 comments

OK, now I see your point.
You think, cwp should translate "city identifier" to html url encoding (all special character into html encoding, for example "ó" to "%F3").

I'm not sure if that is possible:
If everything you enter inside "city identifier" box to html url encoding, you won't be able to enter anything like "gid=3117735&la=4" as required for freemeteo.com, because it would be translated to "gid%3D3117735%26la%3Dla%264".

So I still think this is not a bug, but a feature. You need to enter the city identifier as it appears inside the url of your browser. And for "Kraków" it's "Krak%F3w" that appears at the end of the url.
Changing cwp behaviour of city identifiers will break other weather providers. - Apr 04 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by jaegerschnitzel 1067 comments

Thanks for your comment.
That's not a bug, it's a feature.
It's how cwp works: go to the weather provider page, and extract from the address line of your browser the part that identifies your city.
It's not necessarily a city name, might also be some number, ...
There is no way for cwp to translate your city name into weather provider's city identifier, sorry.
But as it works, I guess it's fine. - Apr 04 2010

Please try the following thing:
click on cwp icon in your panel.
The popup (too small size) will appear.
Resize it to the desired size by clicking on the corner of the popup window and resize. I think the position of this "resize corner" depends on the position of the icon in the panel, e.g. icon in lower right corner of your screen --> "resize corner" of the popup windows is upper left corner.
If I misunderstood, please tell me. - Apr 02 2010

Thanks for your comments.
I see that information inside README file might not help you, if compilation fails (although exactly those steps work fine on the systems I tried).
I guess a comment as "if you don't like it, don't use it" isn't useful either.
However, the problem is your distribution, not the application developer.
As distributions change within months, you'd effectively need to install about 10 Linux systems, and update your project every few weeks.
Sorry, no time left for that work.
Probably Opensuse build service might help, would provide suse, mandriva, fedora rpms and debian and ubuntu deb files.
Which does cover some of the larger distributions.
I'll see what I can do.
I see that you don't want to compile anything.
Good news: for cpw >= 1.0.0 you might not need to upgrade to each new release. XML files can be updated seperately, just by copying them to /home/<user>/.cwp folder.
I'm planning to release 1.0.x with only updates to xml files, and release xml files seperately. - Mar 30 2010

This is already implemented:
In the config window setup your first city including satellite images, and then click "New" button next to "preferred location" (below city setup). Enter a name for this preferred location.
Repeat for each city you want to have in this list.
Right-clicking on the cwp plasmoid shows these preferred locations, and you can quickly switch between these cities.
