System-tray not updated when changing location

[ikarus1969]

Hi Pavel!

another bug

If you choose a location other than your home-location, the system-tray is not updated (see attachment).
Then, if you close the Main-Window (not exiting; system-tray-icon is still visible) and re-open the main-window the home-location is used and not the previous chosen alternative location.

Could you eventually check this? Thank You!

Hey!

This is not a bug.
I actually think this is the way YoWindow should behave.

Let me explain why I think so.

We have put temperature in the system-tray to easy check the weather outside.
Outside means in the city where the person lives ("home-location" in YoWindow).
The user sees the current time and the current temperature in her home town in the system-tray.
Nice!

Now imagine I would change YoWindow.
When you change location, the temperature in the system tray reflects this location.

Here is an example.
There is a girl Angelina, she lives in London.
She get used that the current temperature outside (London) is displayed in the system-tray.

Tomorrow she is going to visit Tokio.
She is wondering what is the weather in Tokio.
Angelina adds Tokio to YoWindow.
At this moment Tokyo temperature gets displayed in system-tray.
Angelina enjoys the weather and then closes YoWindow.
But the temperature in tray is still Tokyo temperature.

Then she forgets about YoWindow, and does her job or goes for a lunch.
Then she comes back.
She sees some temperature in the system-tray.
And she assumes this is London temperature.
But she is wrong.

That is the problem.

We restore home location when you click the temperature in the system tray because you are actually clicking home-location.

Do you think our solution is good?

If you have a better idea how to resolve this problem don't hesitate to share with us.

That's completely ok for me - you explained it very well!

So it's not a bug, it's a feature!
