Location - Field Length

[Johannes Haberl]

Is it possible to reduce the length of the city field or better to configure what is shown.

Only the city would be enough. And only the street without the number?

[Jim Easterbrook]

The problem is that many places don't have a city value. There is no
logic to which elements of an address are included in the reply Photini
gets from OpenCage. You can see the mapping used here:
https://github.com/jim-easterbrook/Photini/blob/1a7947523aaaacba11799e6c27de83113fdc18d0/src/photini/address.py#L74

Photini errs on the side of including everything, as it's often a user
choice of what applies in a particular place. You are expected to edit
the values provided. I sometimes want house numbers, sometimes not.

What works in Germany may not work in the UK or the USA. In the UK a
city is a large town (usually) that has been granted city status. In
some countries it's any populated place.

If anyone gets address details that could be improved (e.g. a "city"
name in the "province" field) let me know the coordinates and the error
and I'll see if some adjustment is possible.
