Bug ID: 413954
Summary: Needless precision in night colour coordinates
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.17.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_nightcolor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@huftis.org
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When one uses the ‘Detect Location’ feature in the night colour settings, the
latitude and longitude is returned with *four* decimal digits (e.g. 60.3984).
This corresponds to a precision of ~10 meters! This is far too many digits (the
sunset/sunrise times don’t change much if you move ten meters). It makes people
think the last digits matter, when they don’t matter at all.
The number of decimal digits returned and shown should be reduced to two
(corresponding to ~1 km) or one. (Even for two decimal digits, the change in
the sunset/sunrise time for a change in the last digit is only a few
*seconds*.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the night colour system settings.
2. Set the operation mode to ‘Location’.
3. Press ‘Detect Location’.
OBSERVED RESULT
The latitude and longitude is updated and shown with four decimal digits.
EXPECTED RESULT
The latitude and longitude should be updated and shown with two decimal digits
(or just one).
