New AccessiWeather nightly out. One fix that would cause saving settings to hang. Honestly wonder if I should have CI not build on just one commit, maybe have three or four on dev before building another nightly because I had to wait over an hour for the thing to get built and published. Thanks Nuitka... Fixed • Saving Settings no longer waits on the Windows startup shortcut check unless you actually change the launch-at-startup checkbox.

Latest accessiweather nightly out: Added • Saved locations now stay sorted alphabetically by default, with a new option to sort them nearest to the current location. Fixed • Settings now opens without waiting on the Windows startup shortcut check. https://orinks.net/accessiweather/downloads
@KiraAeva It's in as an option in tomorrow's build.

Interesting. Just saw a job listing where Sony is hiring a blind/vi software engineer. Wonder if its just more than a diversity hire...never seen other companies specifically ask for this.

@Rosalyn From my website https://orinks.net/AccessiWeather, or from the GitHub releases page. http://github.com/orinks/accessiweather/releases Stable is the most stable release, nightlies I'd consider alpha/beta and they change every day.

Quick question: a user of AccessiWeather requested I add an enhancement to the location dropdown that it be alphabetically sorted. This has been added but currently there is no sorting options, it will be sorted that way for everyone by default as it exists on the dev branch currently. If I add sorting options, what sorting options would you want/need?
@shaysters Very much so at times.

@danestange Feel free. Don't be surprised if it won't run though, it's almost three years old and not sure if there's a Windows only dependency.
