Flag left to location name

Post by ikarus1969 »

Hi Pasha, good morning!

What about displaying the flag of the country the location belongs to left to the location-name in the inspector and system-tray-tooltip-window?

Ok, everyone should know which country the location is in; one has choosen it in the location-dialog before.

Don't have to be a permanent feature - maybe as an option in the location-properties or location-settings dialog?

The flags themselves should be already available for free from Icon Drawer.

Too much information? Useless information?

What do you think?

(explanation: i looked for the southernmost location in Spain and found "Tarifa" in Google-maps; I have to admit 2 days later i was not sure to which country Tarifa belongs to :roll: sorry to all spanish users :oops: )

Hey, Reinhart, I'm sorry for the delay.

Yes, I agree, it is a useful feature to display the country of a location selected in the inspector.
However, I think is't better to display the country with a tooltip.
The user does not need to see her country always on the screen, because in most cases she know where she lives.

I'm adding it to our task list.
Thank you for the idea!

Yura, what do you think?
