Current version updated on 2024-05-15 09:18:25. Did the new version remove the hourly forecast? I have no little ^ arrow at the bottom to expand. Also I have a list of quite a few cities, basically Nascar tracks that are outside a major city. I put them in with log/lat from google maps and the major city/track name under 'saved locations'. However I'm not getting those city names, I'm getting some small township or such where the track is.

Interesting. Seems open weather does not do hourly now and open meteo does. So I just switched and all is fine.

I've used this for several years, but since the April 22 2024 update, it doesn't work. No menu when I click , no option to edit it. Running Mint 21 Cinnamon. Did the menu location change?

Hi, this applet was updated to persist the settings but sounds like there's an issue here. I'll raise this as an issue on the Github repo and CC you in. Is there any chance you could post your .xsession-errors file from your home directory there? Thanks!

The whole thing? Or just the first portion, back how far? (Sorry for the slow reply!)

No problems, we've located the issue and released a patch

Every time before applet updating I need to backup my settings by myself. That so old and strange bug. Also please change default settings from "Home=xdg-open /home/mark/" to "Home=xdg-open ~", because not all applet users are named Mark.

Please give me a hint, can't find the names for the programs to be set in the textfile - for instance 'chrome' ain't working, tried several different name combinations

Is it possible to change the icon of the the app? I like to have a couple of these: one with a music symbol for my music programs, etc.

I replace the mylauncher.svg icon in .local/share/cinnamon/applets/mylauncher@markbokil.com But that would mean you'd have to have multiple copies to make that work for 2 lists.

Thanks for creating this great app. One suggestion: When updating, keep a backup of the settings and mentioned where there are stored. My last upgrade overrode my settings. Luckily I had backup my data a day before and could recall all. Regards, Rob Oudendijk

Cinnamon says the applet uses functions which might crash Cinnamon and indeed it does Otherwise good idea for the applet and I would use it if it behaves

Beautifully simple and useful applet. I have this on all my computers at work and at home, and have an rsync script to back up the config file to Nextcloud so I can sync it on all machines, and have a backup when the applet gets updates. It also helps to use a text editor that automatically saves backups in the config folder.

Cool but please, stop the fact that update replaces the customized configuration file mylaucher.properties.

Great applet, but during update it replaces customized configuration with default one.
