I'm sure its been tested but every-time I export my Geocache's saved in a category list (which was imported with Geocaching4Locus) it incorrectly saves the file. When I retry to import it with Locus it throws an error. It does this every-time for 3 different locations (downloading 200 caches around 3 different points of interest). I also try to import the file with GSAK which gives a "not well formatted" error.

Not sure why? Its supposed to work right? Ill give more details below assuming its a problem.

When I try to import with GSAK it throws:

If I delete the text inside the description to <urlname>DELETED</urlname> the problem goes away. But now it throws the same dialog error @ line 6863:15 inside the <desc> xml descriptor. I haven't been able to create a valid gpx file...

This time if I delete the text it doesn't fix it. Possibly I deleted text the XML reader needs for geocaches. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong? I can give more info if its an actual issue. My other files all have a random spot that throws an error.

Locus Version: 1.14.6 & 1.15.4 (tried both)
Geocaching4Locus: 1.7.3

Thanks.
