It's a long was to ...

I definitely agree a properly working share fron Google Maps is a must, if the use if the API Service from GM is discarded.

Re. overcrowding and zooming: Locus will hardly have a proper priority of items to show anytime soon. It cannot, I think, hence no criticism.

But Locus already has a smart system to deal with overcrowding (I recently taught it to Inge, whom I brought to Locus some time ago): it's the grouping. As long as there are numbers, pan and zoom.
Just my 2c.

Quote from: Radim V on May 19, 2023, 16:33:30I don't think Barcelona for "Bar" is that irrelevant.
@Radim - maybe the search should consider the current zoom level? Barcelona may be relevant if close by, but not when 2000km, and the map is zoomed out to display, non-existent map/ no offline map even exists. This zoom-out to 2000km happens on most searches which is bad.

Did you check why a share from Google Maps doesn't work? This workaround would help alot.

Blue is beautiful! I like the new colour scheme, too!  :)
But, as freischneider said, it's a side side topic  ;)

You could create a help topic for voting, but I like the new colour scheme.

Quote from: Jan Čapek on May 17, 2023, 16:32:59@Žajdlík Josef Hi, you mean search input always floating on top of the map or something different? Thank you for your kind words!

It often happens that I need to find more things and repeat the search. I design the option in the search panel option: "View temporary search panel". The screen would add a floating panel for searching and an icon to hide the panel. See pictures.

CZ: Často se stává, že potřebuji najít více věcí a hledání opakovat. Navrhuji v panelu pro vyhledávání přidat možnost: "Zobrazit dočasný vyhledávací panel". Na obrazovku by se přidal plovoucí panel pro vyhledávání a ikona pro skrytí panelu. Viz obrázky.

Quote from: JackRussel on May 17, 2023, 07:54:11Das finde ich etwas lächerlich.
Im Sommer sind die Temperaturen von 40 Grad eher das Minimum.
Ich lasse mir zeitweise die Temperaturen anzeigen.
Sobald ein paar Apps laufen bleibt auch die Akku Temp. nicht mehr unter 40 Grad und CPU sowie Temps. anderer Sensoren liegen im min. eher bei 45-50 Grad.

Da stimme ich Dir voll zu. Auch ich lasse mir die Temperaturen anzeigen und komme im Sommer immer locker auf über 40 Grad, ohne dass ich nach Jahren festgestellt hätte, dass der Akku wesentlich schlechter wird. Außerdem läuft bei mir das Navi, da ich es nur am Fahrrad nutze, häufig über die Powerbank.

Aber, auch wenn ich mich wiederhole, wenn alle Hersteller ähnliche "Bremsen" einbauen, ist LM4 irgendwann nicht mehr nutzbar. Insofern ist Menion schon gefordert, hier nach dem Grund zu suchen, um auch bei LM4 eine Abdunkelung zu verhindern.

@settler
nope, sorry.
This one should be less disturbing and helps to distinguish really active content on the screen (buttons) from the simple toolbar.

Someone else asked for it, I want to ask again.

The options of themes are not in reach, too deeply nested. WThey deserve to be easy to reach, so that we can easily change them.

The idea was to include Longtap on the theme button, which would instantly jump into theme options. Or maybe vice versa would make sense.

See screenshot.

Quote from: Jan Čapek on May 12, 2023, 20:48:50In other words, we suggest to all German speaking testers to test again as search results may or may not behave quite a lot of differently for you now. :)
First tests give good results now, great.
I noticed it zooms to the first result. This should not be done by Locus. As a user I lose the big picture, I don't know the place of zoom and want to decide, what's having my interest. So maybe first result should not initially be selected?

@Radim & Jan: did I miss a statement re. my proposal to include Google API search again?

Even the combined power of OSM, Wikipedia and Locus Communities will be able to provide comprehensive results, not in decades. Which is not a criticism of the communities approach, which is the only way once you are offline, e.g.. It's about amending above sources with the power of Google Maps - as an option.
And if this should be a financial burden, you can restrict that option to silver or even gold only.

Or is Google search active under the hood already? (I think not, because some searches failed that would deliver in earlier versions.)

Can you pls. advise?

TXs and cheers
Michael

The search we Locus had so far allowed to select the search engine. There should be no step back from that.
In fact, there should be what the Locus search team built so far PLUS the search engine selection (only active when internet connection exists).
Such combines the strengths of the existing with the new functionality.

Quote from: balloni55 on May 07, 2023, 19:32:19turn off GPS, so cursor position is used

I hope this is just a workaround, not by design.

When I'm standing in one place but the cursor is at another, my attention is at the other place, and I'd like the search / weather forecast / whatever to be at that location.  Just my opinion.

Quote from: kodela on May 03, 2023, 13:54:41Was soll das?
Ein Hinweis (den ich wieder löschte) darauf, dass ASAMM ein Unternehmen ist, das Ergebnisse erzeugt und kein 50-köpfiges Philosophie-, Diskussions- und Dokumentationsgremium hat. Menion ist sich des Preset-Systems sicher sehr bewusst. Es ist einfach gehalten - er hat auch gelegentlich darauf hingewiesen, dass das so bleiben soll.

Ich ahne, Du meinst es gut. Du bist aber unheimlich nervig.
