Quote from: Neoaliphant on November 09, 2024, 09:39:20in a similar way, could people (gold) share sections of their own library that could be mounted, so when they update, otehr people would see the updates.....
This would be an idea that would allow larger groups working on a project to keep their data up to date.

Wenn der Empfang nur schlecht ist und nicht ganz weg ist (Abschaltung durch Gerät). Dann kann es sein damit das Empfangsteil einen Schaden hat.
Ich hatte so was auch schon mal. Habe es eingeschickt und es wurde ausgewechselt.

I personally do not need exports copied in this way. But I think there are groups (geologists, rescue workers, nature conservation.... They want to synchronize certain folders and subfolders in the group and have the same status. But at the same time they also have folders and tracks from the private area that are not synchronized. So Bqackup sharing is no longer necessary.
Maybe think about how such groups could do this. I think if this is easy, there will be many new users.

Quote from: Leo Wood on November 07, 2024, 10:21:55My question is ,After I update LM4 to the new version, can LM3 still use WAYPOINT and tracks in the database folder?
For now, LM3 and LM4 can use the same set of data.
I suspect not. But only Menion can answer that for sure. I recommend giving up LM3. It will stop working at some point, as the maintenance mode will also expire at some point. Why not switch now.

Quote from: freischneider on November 06, 2024, 19:18:44The Statistics selection field is available in the settings. As I see it, there are only the 2 numbers 0/15 at the top of the line for My library. In my opinion, this is superfluous and could always be there. It just makes it more complex and many will wonder what it does (helpdesk work).

Maybe I'm blind or a bit slow on the uptake. I don't see where or what the "Statistics" checkbox affects. I don't see any difference. Nowhere...
Screenshot?

Settings (style): Basic or Advanced. It took me a long time to find out what the difference is. As I see it, it is only the bottom line with sorting and filter, selection, new elements. If I choose Basic it is just at the top of the 3 point menu. I think almost everyone, when they find it, will set Advanced. The only advantage I see is that there is one more line at the bottom. Is it worth it?

Settings (style): Slim or Full. This setting makes sense in any case. But I would like it not to be general. But applicable per folder. In folders with many similar subfolders, I would like to set Slim. But where recorded tracks are included, I definitely want Full.
Maybe you can say, folder Slim and Tracks always Full ?

The icons for the folder are now better. But you could make the icon a little bigger. But if necessary, I can put it there.
You don't actually need the small attached folder in the icon. Now there is an icon for subfolders. With that you can also see that it is a folder. Now it would be displayed twice.
I think the display of contained tracks or subfolders is good. The only thing I don't quite understand is the icon for contained tracks or points. The lower one is for tracks but the upper one shows a full folder, there should be an icon for points ?

Thank you, I had the same thoughts about the difference.
But I think it's easy to tell the difference. There is only one line of text in a folder
In a point or track there is more information. Date, KM, distance, altitude.
and in a folder there are 0/4 for the contained elements.  So enough to clearly recognize a difference. What do other users say.
You could also make a separator in Locus Blue between the symbol and the text in folders. Or a frame around the symbol.
I don't know whether this looks good visually.

Sorry, I still do not perfectly understand the main issue with the folder & its icons. The problem is that the folder item and point/track item looking too similar?
Ok, I'll try to explain it better.
I have selected my own symbol in the first folder. It was attached to the folder icon and is very small.
In the 2nd folder I have displayed it as I would like it to be.
I can quickly recognize which folder it is by a large symbol. At the moment the icon is very small and I have to read the text.

Quote from: Menion on November 04, 2024, 09:41:36folder icons > previously, the situation was a lot easier. You had one screen with only folders (and groups) and the second with only points or tracks. Not all at once.

Anyway, I would really like to stick with the current solution (the "folder" icon with a small icon badge). So what may help here?
Now we only have folders. So you don't need the icon for the folder. And it is in the 2nd line as text (folder).
For users who want to use the folder as an icon, you can leave it as the default. But I would like to replace the icon with one of my own in the same size.
But maybe I'm missing something? What speaks against it? Maybe a picture of it.
We can give it a try, if necessary we can go back.

@Andrew. I had the same error.
Delete everything on old device
Install the latest version
Install a backup of your main device
Check that everything is running (including folder assignment (backup, SRTM....))

Points in folders for tracks: it's nice to have this function now.
It was also mentioned to have a point in several folders. This can of course be done by copying. But if I have a point in many folders and I want to add a picture later. Then I need to know where I have copied it to. Otherwise I don't have the information about the image.
Idea: just copy a link of the point to other folders.  When I open this, the original is always opened and changes are always up-to-date. Otherwise the link behaves like a normal point. Show, hide, navigate...
What do you think?
