Hi Georg, now that I'm back from holidays, I could acutally try the code, and I have some more general comments about your (very very good!) work: - we should rename "IP Query" to something less technical, like "Get location from Network" - I think the IP location is such an improvement that it should be the default for all new install, and also probably used by default for installs where the location was never set (set to Paris). This would imply that we transform at startup all older config.ini from location = Paris, France to location = auto. And use this "auto" value to trigger IP Lookup instead of adding a new "init_location/use_ip_geolocation_if_available" key. - Also when the lookup is successful, we could save the last know location into an "init_location/last_resort_location" for the next time we start without network. Sorry to give these feedbacks so late, I hope they make sense, what do you think? In any case, I think the lack of auto location feature was the most annoying problem of Stellarium for an average user living in US, so thanks a lot again!
