           Summary: Weather report's configuration UI is confusing
           Product: kdeplasma-addons
           Version: 5.18.5
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Weather
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: n...@sonic.net
  Target Milestone: ---

The "Weather Report" widget's configuration window, under the "Weather Station"
section, is confusing.

After entering a location to search for (e.g., "olympia"), the "Search" button
is not enabled. It turns out that weather (a) reporting source(s) need to be
selected, using the unlabeled "flag"-icon button.

Providing a label on the "flag" button, either directly, or at the least via a
tool-tip when hovering over the button, would be useful.

Additionally, providing some basic instructions up front (e.g., in place of the
list of locations that will appear, once a successful search has occurred)
would be helpful.

Finally, when selecting data sources from the menu that appears when the "flag"
button is clicked, the menu immediately disappears. I personally have no idea
which sources might include my location, so I just selected them all. As the
list shows checkboxes, it seemed reasonable to me that I could just click all
of them, and then dismiss the list. Instead, I have to click the flag, click a
checkbox, click the flag again, click another checkbox, and so on.

Thanks for your consideration!
