Changing METAR station now

Hi Pavel!

Thank you for this really needful feature!

I tested it a little bit:
  • It would be nice if the name and distance of the entered METAR-station would be updated after leaving the input-field (by the tab-key, by clicking somewhere else in the location-properties-window) so one could look at the distance for example and decide to use this or not.

    It would be time-saving.

    I don't like to: enter a code / click "ok" / see an error in the inspector / thinking: "aha. maybe wrong metar-code?" / clicking on the menu / try another METAR-code (and so on...)
    I would like to see the question marks immediately after entering a METAR-Code and leave the input-field.
  • after entering the right METAR-code again (after playing with some invalid ones) the Name and distance are not updated - still question-marks!
  • I guess the "Default"-button should auto-insert the METAR-Code originally used by YoWindow for this location? If so, the button doesn't work - it only empties the input field.
    Edit:: The button empties the input-field. But: after clicking "ok" and re-entering the location-properties-window the right code, distance and name are displayed.
  • i really like the "www" to open the detailed-site about the used METAR-station!!! :P

Aah, thank you much!
Very nice report.

Unfortunately these things are hard to do right away.
-update name and distance of the entered METAR-station after leaving the input-field
-after entering the right METAR-code again (after playing with some invalid ones) the Name and distance are not updated - still question-marks!

In some time I get back to this feature and do the unfinished work.
I have to focus on hi-pri tasks now.

This error is resolved now

-"Default"-button should auto-insert the METAR-Code originally used by YoWindow for this location? If so, the >button doesn't work - it only empties the input field.

> i really like the "www" to open the detailed-site about the used METAR-station!!! :P

yeah, I also like the way it works now :)
