I forgot one thing.
go to a subfolder - tap three points - tools - export - export title: name of the subfolder
ALL of the tracks within the db are exported
Is this supposed to be this way?

@Christian - visibility is different to "selected". Try long-tap on an item > checkbox > (optionally) other checkboxes > export. I hope that works; just going from memory as someone else asked recently.

Quick return to (into) a certain folder was always possible by tapping a diplayed track on the map

@Christian - if the track is visible.

With such massive functionality there will be a broad spectrum of opinion. Can't please everyone all the time. I have saved all my tracks & POI since ~2015. I have a top level folder for each year. Underneath is a folder for each mode - walk, car, bike(group), bike(solo), run, trips, other. Underneath trips (now) is a folder for each holiday, often with POI along the way & places stayed. Underneath are sometimes folders with various routing options. The new flexibility has made my organisation consistent, flexible, grouped together & easier to find what I want. Everyone will be different.
 

Not sure what is the advantage of the new Lib.

@Christian - for me the standout advantages are:

• single consolidated "folder structure" instead of artificial distinction between tracks & points
• up to 6 levels of subfolders
• quick "return" to current folder when MyLibrary button is tapped (instead of navigating any hierarchy)

I didn't have any problems with my dashboards during upgrade.

if there exists any location from the GPS in history, no matter how old

nice feature
 

Did you noticed how fast work on the planner goes now? It is a pleasure to read a changelog ... finally

@menion - excellent progress

https://web.locusmap.app/?show_changelog - ha ha - a hidden query string, others??

confirmed webplanner 1.52.0 fix: MyLib content now loads automatically after user subscription data is retrieved.
 

A menu when you click on the folder (in the top path row) is not needed at all. It serves only as a small shortcut for faster work with the whole folder.

keep - nice shortcut - I had forgotten about it

I can export selected points into a single GPX - long tap all points > Export (bottom icon).

At Locus Maps, you treat the browser application so neglected

until a few years ago, there was no browser application! And there was just one Android developer. There is no team of 1000's like @ Facebook or Google, just a few people. I find it amazing how much has been developed over the years with so few resources.

Huge release. Congratulations to all the LM team. BTW LM4.0 was released in 2021. Surprised 4.28 != 5.0.

Any link to a Help topic?

Once you have sorted the folders manually, the blue tick should also remain in the "Sort manually" entry and not in "Name" again, which is actually irritating.

Thanks Graf Geo. A little confusing? Clearly sorted alphabetically by Name in my screen cap, but 2011, 2007, then 2013? Sure I can sort manually, and I will (& no doubt actually is). Great new feature BTW. But I'm thinking more ahead to the 1000's of new/ existing users that could have a similar experience and waste LM support time on a detail that should need no support. So, in the least, there is a bug or improvement to be made, in that list is sorted manually, but the tick indicator shows incorrect sorting by Name. So worthwhile discussion I feel.

My confusion - the "Sort by" options don't apply to folders. OK, I finally get it. Maybe a little clarification like in my updated screen cap?

Separate topic - I've seen the "top level" folder referred to inconsistently as "Root" and "Home" in app & webplanner. Certainly "move to 'root folder' folder" is not the best. I think "Root" is jargon & suggest "home" be used everywhere.

@Menion - with RC4 installed - what's going on with the folder sorting now? 2011, 2007, then 2013? The folder sort order is also the reverse of my previous screen shots yesterday (descending), without any changes by me, except 2013 is now out of order. I have sorting by Name not Manual, and there are no leading or trailing spaces. Weird. A quick check of other folders - all OK.

Sorting of folders > use manual sorting (first option in the sorting menu). Folders are not affected by the "Sort by" value.

@menion - ok thanks, will work for now but maybe quite confusing for other users. I checked with Windows File Explorer for comparison - it keeps folders at the top, and correctly sorts files and folders ascending and descending, which to me is more intuitive. Worth consideration (later)?
 

Sorting folder by name - reverse sort checkbox ticked & unticked, but the order of purely numeric folder names is the same. What's happening?You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Now that I am extensively reorganising my folders, points & tracks for the new V2 library, I am finding the Move To function somewhat tedious in that the default folder is always the root. A "recent list" of folders may be even more useful than a "favorite list".

When deleting an empty folder is there any real need for the extra step of ticking a checkbox/ absolving LM of any loss of data? Again seems tedious. When there is a subfolder now there are 2 checkboxes to tick ;-( A recycle bin would almost be the best of both worlds 1) no confirmation step, 2) can undelete if a mistake.
