Better ask thé locus team for assistance in the helpdesk here.

Yes, you are correct, only for TTS. This is indeed not transferred into the <name>.

@Mick FU
Add a custom fr.tts file as described here.

These tts file edits are extremely sensitive to errors.
The slightest editing error will cause Locus to revert to default.
Add a personal test sentence to the modified file.
Change: "tts_set": "Synthèse vocale correctement configurée",
for example to: "tts_set": "Du pain, du vin, du Boursin",
Locus navigation.
Select TTS in the navigation panel. You should hear the custom test sentence.
If not, your tts file edit is incorrect.
Proceed step by step when making changes.
Test regularly to see if you can still hear the special test sentence.

[gpx+attachments]

@Bruno.
gpz is zipped gpx+attachments. (Locus does not offer gpz exports)
kmz is zipped kml+attachments. (Locus supports kmz exports)
If you don't necessarily need a gpx track with attachments in gpx waypoints, than select and use kml/kmz.

Hi Bruno.
Your wish to transfer any attachment such as images or pdf or other files could be perfectly and quite easily done by means of gpz. But there appears to be almost no interest by Locus users to also tackle the transmission part in Locus map. This topic has already been brought up in the past in Locus help and in this forum. The interest for this possibility is almost ZERO. Anyway a single example gpz file which shows the current reception possibilities find here. https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9008.msg76620#msg76620

[You must than close Locus, wait a while]

reproducible report ?

After several new attempts. I suspect the problem was the following.
I tested v 4.29 to see if import in the database is now possible. Unfortunately no
Quickly switching to import as display only than showed this was no longer possible.
You must than close Locus, wait a while and only then import back as display only.
Then the icons import turns out to work still fine inclusive all images are shown.
The gpx viewer app anyway struggles a bit less and imports this without trouble.

Update.
What imports fine in the database is a combination of a (nav)track plus (merged) "any icon" waypoints.👍

In the version 4.28 the file .gpz shows the icons when set display only.
In the version 4.29 the file .gpz does not show the icons anymore.
No icons nor by set display only nor by database import.
The file .kmz shows the icons by set display only.
The file .kmz shows the icons by database import.

Update.
After more attempts and emptying the points folder.
It sometimes seems to work with gpz import display only.
It is rather fickle, sometimes it doesn't work.
No idea why sometimes it works or why sometimes it doesn't.
The icons are never shown with database import.
The imports via kmz are always very correct

Perhaps a forum member could test this and find a pattern to add a reproducible report ?

Strange and unfortunate . Given there is no further support for Locus Classic so I guess end of story from A14+.

On A13.
Map the external profile to some internal.
Eventually rename the in-app profile.
Ref: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/32067-locus-3-brouter-custom-profile

I still barely use the Locus Pro planner.
I have now done a quick test on an A13 phone.
Add the external profile Zossebart MTB as indicated.

Then in the Brouter advanced panel
Add custom profile named (free name) "MTB Zossebart".
Choose and select in external Profiles - Zossebart MTB
I only than activated the profile MTB Zossebart.
Thus only 2 route planner profiles are shown.
Or Set Draw manually or MTB Zossebart.
I had a short test. Seem to work fine in the planner.

[new window 2]

A13.
Eventually the next file explorer can help.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marc.files

By this file explorer find Locus pro in Android data.
If not existing create the folders router > profiles2

Android > data > menion.android.locus.pro > files > router > profiles2.

In this file explorer by the 3 dot menu select new window 2
In Android menu than select split screen operation.
Open than both the explorer window 1 and window 2.
In the first window 1 find your prefered xxx .brf file.
In the second window 2 open the (empty) profiles2 folder.
Drag the xxx.brf file from window 1 into to the window 2 profiles2 folder location.

On A14 + ?  Please report succes or not.

See gif

Android 10 ;-)

[Update: After several more tests.]

Any idea ?
The opacity is not applied in Locus v3 and v4;
While the width is applied in Locus v3 and v4.

Test file 1 import by topografix > Garmin extension NOK
(The opacity is OK in gps visualizer and in gpx-studio)
Note.
If Garmin is first than topografix the opacity is applied.

Testfile 2 import by topografix > OsmAnd extension OK.
Note.
If OsmAnd is first than topografix color is not imported in OsmAnd.

Update: After several more tests.

The extension order finally turns out to be very IMPORTANT !
See the attached file 3
Contains extensions Garmin > Topografix > xsi (Osmand reads this)
This extension order should be EXACTLY respected.

Result.
Garmin by garmin.
Track: color.

Locus 4.27 by topografix.
Track: color + opacity + width.
+ TBT guiding through the gpx navtrack !

Osmand 4.9.10 by xsi.
Track: transparancy-color + width.
Waypoint icon: transparancy-color.

for others, i struggled a long time to import "my_icon.zip"

Should sure be better documented and or indicated as hardly anyone will be able or detect how to export and import icon packages this way.
