[new Beta 4.17.2.2 version]

Hi guys,
(most probably) final solution published in the new Beta 4.17.2.2 version. I got your point, but do not fully agree with all.

Main use-case, the clearest to basic users: unload points. So this will be the primary function of this button. After confirmation, the button is disabled and counter reset so I believe, it is clear what this function did.

The secondary function, by the long click, is the temporary hide of all points/tracks.

I believe this will be useful good enough, anyway let me know if ...

The previous version for fading in and out tracks was better. I have faded in tracks in different folders.
Now I want to hide them all for a short time so that I have a clean map. I click once on it and all are hidden. I click again and the old state is restored. I had left certain tracks faded in, because I still want to do something here. Now the state is broken. I do not know which they were. I have 40 folders and 10000 tracks.

If you want quick access to temporary hiding, which is from my point of view more "geeky" feature, use a long click!

...Long click on the track manager button, which I removed, because it is accessible enough via Map Items.

I disagree. The eye symbols in Map Items offer quick, welcome, expected and convenient toggles and you removed the convenience. Which was finally usable and within good reach. "Nobody" 😁 uses longclick-hide.

And you removed the possibility to FINALLY hide embedded waypoints. My tracks are full of them, it helps for overview purposes.

Also there must be some kind of bug, I managed to show tracks and at the same time the top right "tracks hidden" symbol was shown.

Maybe you should use the term "My points" in the map items panel for more clarity (I mean the user poi in the database)

I want to temporarily hide tracks, this is now broken. I can't show them again after... hiding.

And what does it do? Hide: no? Rather unload I guess? This is not what is expected here. Here we need a quick show/hide toggle.
The counter of loaded tracks stays as is, after refresh ui it goes to 0.

The behaviour of prior version was perfect for me. A dialog window is wrong here.

Solution. Eye symbol: short tap = show/hide. Longtap: unload all. If none are loaded, bring up track manager.

I like the remembering of the scroll position, for me it should stay this way.

Hi guys
- counter for points/tracks fixed (there were issues with incorrect values)
- left area (icon) for a quick return to the map after you select a theme > done
- "Map overlays" are now hideable
- app remember the scroll of this panel > currently intent so you may easily continue where you left. Better starting always at the top without a scroll? Hmm..

I think most people want to go straight back to the map when changing a theme.

Not sure. But Maybe Menion could register the left area again for apply+goto map. Just like points/tracks.

[bug]

Thx, I see it remembers the expand/collapse (click on <screenshot>) state of themes, even after restart LM. Good. Some of us prefer to directly access theme, some don't, so we can choose.

But, bug, after restart of LM, theme/theme option click shows no reaction. EDIT: cannot reproduce any more. hmm.

I like the behaviour of clicking themes, return back to "Map content", I think it's practical and transparent now.

Still hesitant to allow hiding more stuff? Wanted to hide layers and online LoPoi...

Counters for tracks/points, nice.

@Andrew Heard
can't imagine how this may be possible. Maybe you used theme extracted, not in zip form?

@Tapio
no problem. We use a small generator for this, anyway created final version of EN legend for LoMap is attached here. Not sure how may I help you more with it ...

[@Andrew Heard]

@Andrew Heard
- error when clicking a legend: issue in the theme. Legend is in this theme defined over "lnk" file it should contain the relative path to the XML file (as I wrote for example here).

I'm thinking if I should fix this on my side (rather not) so suggest to @karlchick to fix it in the theme.

@Tapio
hidden tracks + visible track waypoints > I would like to stay with the current solution, because waypoints are directly connected to the track!

@T-mo
agree that hide points/tracks need some tweaks. I'm currently changing it a little bit ...

Bug > ah, thanks, will be fixed.

depending on the fate of OAM

OAM cannot die, must not die. I'm convinced he feels that itch to continue soon enough 🙏🏻

[superb]

Really like the new 'map-screen content'-menu. Quick access to theme's options, superb!

Slow opening already noted.

problem:
when having point- or track-layer set to no-show-state and then enabling points or tracks them get of course not shown. This might be irritating or understood as disfunction, definitely with only 1 point or track. Maybe show-state should be automatically switched to 'show'?

Bug: with track-layer set to no-show and then going to track-details, the preview-image with map does not get shown and when hitting the go-to-map-icon Locus runs into problems and jumps back or crashes.
With track-layer set to show everything is normal.

[Awesome release]

Awesome release. Quicker access to theme options. Yasss. And finally! we can hide embedded waypoints. I am once again very thankful for your hard work.

Definitely needed: Allow to filter out any setting. I don't need temp. map items or map overlays. You're probably hesitant because new users, shoot in the foot etc...

Bug: Embedded WP do not disappear instantly,some screen refresh issue?

As Andrew wrote, the panel comes out sluggish.

The line break (screenshot) does not look beautiful. And creates some wasted vertical space. See attachment.

I also really like the new content. Especially the track hiding. And so that you can omit certain areas altogether. Since I don't use the shading normally (only makes sense in the mountains). Would be nice if you could also deselect that.

[Beta version 4.17.1.3]

New Beta version with some fixed crashes etc. and mainly a new side map-content panel with hopefully useful improvements. Feedback is welcome of course, thanks.

Beta version 4.17.1.3, download.
