Ja, ich habe das besagte Android 11. Könntest Du mir noch mal den Link mit der Version 3.55 zukommen lassen? Viele Grüße von tobser

Menion,

this does  not work with a zip, please try the "OS map V4 day" legend. PDF cannot be accessed. Theme is incomplete, just for testing.

"add "my_theme.lnk" file with a relative path (relative to an XML file) to *.pdf file, so for example just "my_theme_legend.pdf" on the first line. Useful if more XML themes are in a single directory and share the same legend"

@Menion: I saw there are relative paths in the lnk files. But pls.: what exactly does relative mean in a ZIP file that is in _themes folder of Locus base?
Thank you

That is a good question. Tried numerous paths... I wasn't able to create a lnk file which allows Locus to access a pdf file inside the zip.

If a pdf is in the zip files root the content of the lnk should simply be relative to zip root:
blah.pdf
and/or
/blah.pdf

Does it show the v5 maps info? I think I can be really lucky to still be on Android 10.
Ooh, TAS, on the edge of the flat earth 😁

Merry Christmas to everyone here, great community.

A. Heard, strange, everything works fine here now. Mapsforge V5? Maybe try another map from https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openandromaps//mapsV5/europe/

text problems are really interesting, can't simulate it . Hmm, .

Just some translation issue. Will have a look today, of not maybe someone else fixed it. I'm mostly absent of translation, as I don't use the german version of the UI -  this makes communication easier.

@menion regards 4.5.5.2_1054: my previous experience with ZIP themes is still the same. The only change in release notes is "loading of... themes with space in the name". None of my 4 ZIP theme files have a space in the name. Using an OAM5 map, none of those 4 ZIP files are listed when tapping "Map Themes", and as shown last time I just get the green message "No map with themes is active".

Same setup here, but they work now as before again. Are the xml files on top level inside the zip?

When I tap the theme icon, a lag of 0.5s is introduced...but not sure here if it was this way before. Edit: nah, it's new I'm pretty sure, because it's mildly annoying, and I noticed annoyance never before there. 😁

latest Locus Map 4 already has enabled support for /sdcard/Android/media/menion.android.locus/maps(Vector) directory, so feel free to try it. Just insert maps there, the app should load them automagically during (re)start.

Thanks. "Some indian guy" - hrhrhr.

Please (if not already happened):

a) add support for the media folder in the UI (prefer it over Android/data)
b) support Android/media on Android <11

So all users use the same places, makes support easier. I'm on Android 10, but I want to migrate all my stuff to future-safe places.

Question: AFAIK if files are in the private folder under Android/data, they are deleted when uninstalling Locus Maps, we all know this is a big deal if we have tons of Maps and SRTM files there.
Does this also apply to Android/media?

"_themes" is an ugly name, also having all user content beside each other (themes, vectormaps, srtm...) is good for external backup. Better order, easier to find...

Theme attached.

Chages at API? "locus.api.android.objects.LocusInfo.isRunning" NullPointer exception @ Falcos plugin. I reported to Falco.

I'm not successful: didn't manage to make LM parse themes in zip. I don't know what Locus expects and where. In the zip, the xmls are on root level. Path: ///_Ext/Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/MapsVector/_themes/test.zip
Zip has been created by TotalCommander.
I use OAM mfv5 maps.

Longclick theme, validation not available any more.

Themes (in zip files) - RELATIVE TO WHERE? A zip file in the old mapsVector/_themes/ is unnoticed by Locus.

Also, now you seem to use the folder name. I use different xmls in the same theme folder, now they are shown with the same name in Locus UI. OS map ships with 2 different xmls eg. Ah elevate/elements as well.

Now as you change themes, can you free them from the terrible "_themes" folder, a level higher to /mapsVectorThemes/?

Themes into zip: good move

If you don't find it, modify panel by longclick anywhere in the desired panel, then add the command.

Longclick Trackmanager icon...

Thx for todays update, now, finally, LoPoints does not start with the search page, good...
