            Bug ID: 11570
           Summary: allow adding network-MAC based locations (with
                    fallback to "home")
    Classification: Panel Plugins
           Product: Xfce4-weather-plugin
           Version: 0.8.5
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium

My computer could in principle tell if I'm at home or visiting parents
depending on the MAC of the wifi I'm connected to. It'd be nice if I could tell
the weather plugin "change my location to Parentville, but only when I'm on
this network. Otherwise, I'd like it to be Hometown as ususal".

Maybe the settings could look like  


  [Locations] (Units) (Appearance) (Scrollbox)

  Current:
  *Hometown, Mycountry*

  Stored locations:
  | Hometown, Mycountry (*default*)         | [Edit] |
  | Parentville, Mycountry (Parentrouter)   | [Edit] |

  [Add a new location for this network]


And the Edit button brings up the old dialog, e.g.:

  Location: [ Hometown, Mycountry      ] [Change]
  Latitude: […]
  Longitude: […]
  Altitude: […]
  Timezone: […]
  Currently the default location.
  [Save changes]

or, for router-bound locations, Add/Edit gives: 

  Location: [ Parentville, Mycountry   ] [Change]
  Latitude: […]
  Longitude: […]
  Altitude: […]
  Timezone: […]
  Location bound to router "Parentrouter" (00:22:A6:B2:C0:00).
  [Make this the default location]
  [Save changes] [Delete location]
