Can't set location
-
Hello,
I think I updated my location when I moved from Europe to New Zealand. Now I am in India and my Mac still thinks I am somewhere else. It would help a lot, if you could make your software easier and just orient yourself by the time setting of the macbook, then I only have to change one clock and not two ... (you can still keep this other option if you want, but just as an alternative).
I tried to update my location several times now, but he doesn't even find Delhi ...
It is quite annoying. And because I am not able just to set a time frame for f.lux to be enabled, I can't really use it at the moment.
And you should add the option: Disable: until switched on again
Please help, thank you

Copy/paste your geographical coordinates from Google Maps (latitude and longitude).
-
It is not possible to paste anything into the required box.
-
If the automatic location doesn't work, you can also type a location name by hand.
-
Just noticed, that normal keyboard shortcuts don't work (command + C).
For everybody: you have to right click to paste the copied numbers.
I can type in anything, but it won't be used for the tool.
Even the longitude/latitude is just looking nice, he still thinks, that it is night where I am.
Please, it would be so easy, if you could orient by the system time ...

Anyway, Ctrl+C is copy, Ctrl+V is paste (and Ctrl+X is cut, just in case you'd like to know).

Ok, understand.
But you didn't understand my problem.
Now it seems to be updated, but I have no idea how it happened.
Searching for cities didn't work and there was no visible approval of latitude/longitude when I entered it.I just want to help, to improve the software ... I am from the business ... as well software testing and writing of manuals as the development of software concepts.
And for better mac support: Mac is "COMMAND + C" or "+V" not "Ctrl" as mentioned.
And second: please test your own software, pasting via keyboard doesn't work on Mac (MacOS 10.12.6), neither "Command + V" nor "Ctrl + V". Only "right click --> Paste" worked.

@Grit-Reh thanks for this - I hadn't realized that copy/paste didn't work there. Have logged it to our bug database and we will fix it in an update.
