Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2012-12-17 19:12:57 UTC
One's shouldn't have to do a "try and fail" sequence to find the nearest weather sensor, but should only have to provide a city and gnome-clocks shoumd propose the nearest place around.

Exemple:
1/ I live in Mougins (France) so I type "Mougins" in the field.
2/ Only the button "Cancel" is enable, I cannot "Add"
3/ I think this is perhaps this is no weather sensor in Mougins, so I type "Cannes" and I choose "Cannes, France"

I think my problem is related to this. I can't select a clock for Lagos, Nigeria (pop. 17 million+) It isn't given as an option.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2021-06-01 22:44:44 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-clocks/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
