Description Mingcong Bai 2016-11-15 23:16:55 CST 
While the KWallet panel applet could provide me with accurate information, it does not seem to update on its own. If I right click on the applet and select "Update Now", the weather information does update, but always seems to show update time of 53th minute of any given hour.

And here below is my weather log so far - created by KWeather.

It's quite obvious that KWeather did attempt to update, but never actually updated unless I click "Update Now".

The problem occurs on both amd64 and ppc64el?

I do apologize.

I meant to reply with an update that the weather applet does update the weather info, just with a bit of a delay.

However, there are still two issues here:

1. Multiple entry of the same content was logged into the weather log.
2. Given 1, how about an option to allow for changing update interval (or is it the fact that the weather provider simply does not update any more frequently than once an hour?).

Yes, I think that is common when the weather information is not updated very often. I observed that the updates are more frequent, if some events are current - for example, rain, thunderstorms,... That would explain why during the update KWeather may be weather information unchanged. For example, right now I have an update from the provider after 40 minutes.

It seems that the bug report can be closed. What is your opinion?

Okay that makes sense.

Could it be done so that:

- It won't write duplicate entries of weather information.

or...

- It write the real "time" in the log instead of posting the same time across multiple lines: that's just kind of confusing...

Yes, you're right - in the log should be both - time information of KWeather update and also time information of update by provider.

Proposed improvement was realized in GIT commit 8aedce54 (master) and 90fee640 (r14.0.x).

Thank you for your insights and suggestions!
