OMG, Total Commander dev. is struggling and fighting currently. I am currently unclear about how I could copy OAM maps to Ext/Android/Data/<locus>

Hi Menion, crash on import 1600 GPX files, I have recorded some beta versions ago. Happens like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/Vn-4AT5Pmg4?feature=share
I try to create a GPX collection that causes it. Files are a bit too private for sharing, they reflect too much of my private/job movement.

- New version, that sort type badge is useful
- Thx for PlusCode high precision.

1AACAF2A2 - latest beta.

LM became unreliable when dealing with many tracks. Import of more than 1000 gpx not possible. Crash. Display of many tracks not possible. From a 1600 tracks folder it loads 30%, then crashes. Maybe other users confirm...

So exports can only saved to the private directories in Android 11?

I would love it if ALL path configuration would be on one options page, with a clear terminology (eg "Internal storage / removable storage"), with the paths visible (currently they are hidden behind question marks), but clearly just informational, with information on free space, used space.
If there's no removable storage, nothing can be changed (?), then the page is just informational.

It's all too complicated for me. I don't even know what I have to do,

This is what's expected from you: Put all configurable stuff (by Locus, ie currently SRTM, Backup and MapsVector) to their traditional places below:

/<int_sd>/Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/
OR
/<ext_sd>/Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/

AND keep in mind a) data get deleted on uninstall of Locus b) data cannot be shared with other Apps.

That's the future 😊 See my screenshot.
But as long as your device is on Android 10 or less imo there's no need for you to change paths.

a) can be really ugly, eg here maps and srtm are 50+ GB.

After all, users will choose between internal/external SD. The precise place is something they not necessarily need to know. Locus UI could simply offer a matrix which let's the user pick the desired place with radio buttons (so, pick int or ext sd) for vector maps, srtm, whatever else... And it should manage the file movements in a secure way.
I don't like the move towards apple, where people even don't need to be aware of files and folders. But otoh, bullshit apps, malware, messing with other apps, idk, most people have just a glimpse of clue and need to be protected 😐

I migrated MapsVector to ///_extsd/Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/MapsVector

Unfortunately Themes are accessible, but not linked to the presets any more, probably presets  use absolute paths? I see in presets-> themes then we also have to reconfigure all those theme specific details. That's unfortunate if you have many presets.

Maps and SRTM migration no problem. Fortunately no need for sharing them between apps for me.

between apps (like SRTM data or large map files (vector and raster); apps from different developers.

Just to clarify - so all vector maps have to be in an internal directory? Attachment related. Fortunately no problem for me, no sharing between apps.
Mbechthold, I wonder if gaining root and creating symlinks could be a solution.

Yes, solved... just some rare collision? with overwrite mode. 1623 exported tracks, 1622 files. Will check on PC (totalcmd) what's the missing file.

Was very much looking forward to sort per folder, thx for that one.

An Presets binden? Seit einiger Zeit speichern Presets ja auch die Detaileinstellungen von Themes. So mache ich das. Die eigentliche Theme-Auswahl nutze ich selten.

Huawei in seiner endlosen Weisheit hat bei manchen Geräten "PowerGenie", das nur via adb gezähmt - deinstalliert - werden kann. Hat mir aber bzgl. GPS keine Probleme gemacht. Aber Nachts Tasker schlafen gelegt.

With the following Tasker task you can remove all timestamps from GPX files, a privacy option. Locus does only export GPX with timestamps.
Backup your files. It's not too thoroughly tested.
