funny, thanks

@freischneider & @Cyklo Miro
thanks. You stay stuck on this crash, damn. I'll generate a fixed version today and ask you for a quick test before it goes public.

Hehe, oki. I thought you all will want to keep it

[final RC4 version uploaded to Google Drive]

Hi guys,
final RC4 version uploaded to Google Drive.

Plan?
Final version and release on Monday, if there won't be any serious reason not to do it.

It is a big change, so I'll publish it only to a portion of the new users per day for the next approximately 14 days.

If you have anything crucial you are not sure it works as expected, last two days to test 

Have a nice weekend!

@luce
maybe you used it last time? When you close it, is there a menu at the top panel where you may choose a search engine?

Hi guys,

@Graf Geo
I've somehow missed your important post, sorry. The issue will be fixed in the next version, thanks!

@Palásthy
Maybe you have the same issue as Graf Geo, so in the next update, new tracks should have the correct colors.

And the old? There should not be a limitation on the setup of style for the single track. Simply in the track detail, tap on the "Edit" and at the bottom, edit the style. Mass operation, so the change of the style for multiple tracks at once requires active Premium, is it correct.

Hello Jonathan,
most probably not. I've never tried it, but expect this is a proprietary secured format of the ViewRanger app.

@T-mo
thanks for the databases. Anyway in both files you send me are identical track databases with the same problem > both are missing statistics and times. So sorry, I can't help here because the reason is unknown to me. Only old tracks seem to be affected.

@Graf Geo
center button > "red key" means missing location permission, "red settings icon" means disabled location in the system ... simple.

@Diddi
Thanks for the screenshots. Unfortunately, it is not most probably on our side, as we are unable to directly affect the content of the bottom navigation panel from the app.


@freischneider
favorites in the folder selection > thanks for the feedback. I won't improve it a minute before release, but yeah, agree, there is a space for small improvement. Anyway, I'm not a fan of some kind of "favorites". What about improving the search function and offering the recently selected folders immediately in the search?

@Andrew Heard
recycle bin > I know. It already is implemented on iOS and it probably has to be on Android as well. Anyway, I'd rather choose this option for now.

You are right, I'll at least reduce it to a single checkbox for sub-folders.

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

@Tapio
update elevation > it was never available as "mass operation" for tracks, only for points. And it is preserved. So select multiple points and from the menu choose "Update elevation".

[@CabrioTourer]

@CabrioTourer
thanks for the info about "deleted" folders > should be fixed now

@freischneider
selection of folders > understand, I'll think about it ...

@Diddi
dismiss of the "Update GC dialog" > good point, fixed

lost filters from "Filters manager" > hmm, you are correct. Sorry for this ...

browse in the GC filter settings > understand. Again nice place for improvements 

inverted GC parameters in the filter > correct, fixed

bottom navigation panel > post a screenshot, please. I'm anyway not sure if this is Locus Map fault.

@T-mo
app does not modify points and tracks during the migration. It affects only folders and placements of points & tracks inside.

Tracks > these are old recorded tracks? Weird, my 10+ years old tracks are all correct. Only idea is to send me backup of your data from RC2 so I may validate where is the problem.

Red key on the centering button > tap on it does not offer a solution to you?

Hi,
if you are already testing new My Library, there already is an "Update all geocaches" function. Just select multiple caches at once and choose this option in the menu.

And filter > aren't steps for the filter of geocaches almost identical as before? One additional click if I count correctly. Ideas to simplify are of course welcome.

Btw. for common cases, you may save the filter over "Filters manager" and apply the filter to the folder quickly by the long click on the "Filter" button (in the advanced layout mode).

[New Beta version 4.28.0 RC1 (24.1.2025)]

New Beta version 4.28.0 RC1 (24.1.2025)

I've already informed you in the main app thread here.

If anyone finds time, please test this latest version together with sync functionality.

I have to thank all of you a lot for your patience and help with this complex task. I believe that everything mentioned here was (at least) discussed with our team and somehow affected how My Library looks now on all platforms.

And as usually ... work on this task do not stop now. Mainly on the web, seems that it finally moves faster!!

So thanks again and I'm closing this topic. Discussion may continue in common "app version" topics.

[New Beta version 4.28.0 RC1 (24.1.2025)]

New Beta version 4.28.0 RC1 (24.1.2025)

It is a pre-final version with an integrated MyLibrary system. There won't be any new versions with the old "Data manager".

This is also the last week for testing. The version will be published on Monday 24. 2. on Google Play.

Changes
   - add: "tools" menu for a single folder
   - chg: default style for all users set to simple
   - chg: numerous updates in offline LoMap themes
   - fix: mass copy/move operations crashing
   - fix: another attempt to fix search in "Choose folder"
   - fix: bunch of UI tweaks

[@Graf Geo]

@Graf Geo
selection of found folder after search > another iteration in the next version. Give it a try please.

@balloni55
but how can the previously selected POIs track be displayed again with one click? > may you post a screenshot of what you miss from the old Locus Map version?

@CabrioTourer
"deleted data" > please open the "Cloud sync" screen, do sync once more and then check what you will see in the top toolbar > three-dot menu > Last update. Here should be info what really happened. Anyway in your case, no error appears right?

Icons on the web > complicated task that is not planned to be solved this year. Custom icons require zip file with icons and it is currently not synchronized ...

@Andrew Heard
move operation > as I wrote, fixed. Also some other mass operations wasn't working correctly...

[do not automatically update]

Hi guys,
just a quick important note (I'll react to previous posts later this next week).

Our online satellite maps just stopped working, so I had to quickly publish a new 4.27.2 version on the Google Play. It has absolutely no changes compared to 4.27.1 (except fixed sat maps), but has a higher internal version number, so update replace testing versions!!

So be careful and do not automatically update. I'll try to generate a testing version with a higher version code at the start of the working week ...

All good > fine.

Persistent paths that preserve certain UI (as you wrote with the path to "My library") are planned for a very long. I hope things move faster on the web now...
