option for G4L is offered because you have installed it. I can't block this option easily.

centering > I have found one possible reason for problematic behavior. Check next version (end of the week), thanks!

style of the sub-folder > we've renamed it to the "Use style of the parent folder" - it will be more universal.

@Diddi
friends in geocaching > well, there is an API for this. It only missed implementation on the Locus Map side. Old idea for example here.


EDIT later
today, the full-support day version is on the Google Drive for testing.

I've set version code to 1169 > identical to the version on Google Play. With this, it is easy to switch between public and testing versions.

[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!

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).

[Version 4.26.1 was just published]

Version 4.26.1 was just published on Google Play (for all users).

@Diddi
anything except "Update all caches" is still missing? This one is on its way. It just needs a new data manager (hopefully till the end of the year).

Ich benutze fast bei jedem Cache (Multi, Mystery) den 'Berechnen'-Button. Nun ist er in den tiefen der Menustruktur verbannt worden. 

I use the 'Calculate' button for almost every cache (Multi, Mystery). Now it has been banished to the depths of the menu structure. 

Updating the caches works again thanks to the new version of G4L (3.0.12)

Hmm, the problem with incorrect navigation instructions won't go away without some work. Anyway, it is clear, that I really need to be able to simulate this issue 

Geocaching troubles > I've tried to describe it together with images here. Any yes, removing G4L seems to be the best solution now ...

update of geocaches > there were some updates of Geocaching4Locus and if I am correct, the last one fixed this.

Updating geocaches does not work with
4 23.1
and
Geocaching4Locus 3.0.11

confirm

the only way to update a single cache is via the button at the top right of the listings window > Tools > Update geocache

update of geocaches > there were some updates of Geocaching4Locus and if I am correct, the last one fixed this.

Updating geocaches does not work with
4.22.2
4.23.0
4 23.1
and
Geocaching4Locus 3.0.11

I can't update Geocaches via Geocaching4Locus addon since this version.

Open listing
Click addon button
Click update or download logs
Seems that the addon app opens for a short while but closes instantly without doing anything

The update also no longer works with version 4.22.2. Geocaching4Locus has been updated.

update cache, the progress bar is no longer available
you cannot see whether the update is running or hanging

Edit: the update is not completed for folders with more than ~800 caches
Edit2: update didn´t work at all
