Switching between weather models now takes 3 clicks

@Ftjwinfs I will forward this thread to our colleagues, so they can consider this behavior change. However, I can't promise anything at the moment.

@Suty Thank you

Any news on this issue?

@Koss5 "Windy should fire ..." This is a bit harsh, but I can see a general issue here: It looks like the UI designers are operating the code as if it is visiting a toy shop: "Oh I like this one", "No look at this, even better".
You can do that in early stages of development, but people are now using the product at a large scale. You cannot just change the UX every few days, or move functionality around all the time - it pisses people off. Look at Debian: One big update every 2 years. In between, mostly bug fixes, polishing, etc.
Of course you can still do stuff. But you've got to be a bit more cautious. This was one of those 'not so well thought out' things. It has a serious impact on UX. It may look slick, but it's all about how it's actually used.

@Ftjwinfs RIght now, there are no changes planned for this mode switcher. I am sorry about it.
-
@Suty Thank you.
Really, really sad, that the developers apparently cannot unterstand our constructive feedback.
Would it be possible that you share what the reasons were to implement (and keep) the current approach?
-
@Ftjwinfs I will do my best. To be sure, do you mean that change of model switcher, when the detail is open, correct?
-
@Suty Exactly, I mean this whole issue of the new approach to change the weather model.
- Before: One click to change the model.
- Intermediate approach: A menu that open on click to then select the model.
- Now: A new horizontal bar with full length across the screen which shows available models. This task-bar automatically closes after a number of seconds.
I assume, that some developer really, really loves his new horizontal bar...
Please, at least deactivate the "feature", that the bar automatically vanishes/closes after a certain number of seconds. It seriously drives me crazy, when apps think they know better than myself what I want. If I open the bar to see different models I DO NOT want it to vanish after a number of seconds. I want it to stay open, until I BY MYSELF decide to close it.
Thank you.
