Can't find my city in weather plugin location search

xerxesar opened this issue · 1 comments

Searching my city name "Shahrud" (or shahrood, or شاهرود) returns no result.

"Shahrud" on openweathermap: https://openweathermap.org/city/135423

It may be a good idea to let users set lat/long beside being able to search locations.
Also yahoo query api has been shutdown, so it would be a good idea to replace or remove it.
I'm eager to help in the debug/development. Please instruct me how to .

A quick workaround would be editing ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel and setting custom location.
note: As LXDE is based on gtk2 (which is deprecated), it's not worth updating anymore. Maybe It's time to migrate to LXQT (lxqt/lxqt#1040).
