Is this enough? Someone will want to keep the structure of the folders right? Maybe also for import, right? And here problems start@0709 - you seem to be the expert on GPX file formats, any thoughts for standard round-trip format?

Troubles & Questions / Location of imported mbtiles o...
Last post by GRGISpro - Yesterday at 21:13:29I copy a map.mbtiles to my downloads folder on my phone. Then I open Locus Maps and import the map.
Question: Does Locus copy that map file to a different location for use or is it using the map in the download location on the phone?
I would like to know so I can better manage my storage.
If it is creating a copy? Then I can delete from the downloads folder? Or will that remove it from Locus?
Where to copy offline maps to so it does not get duplicated?
Question 2: Removing the map with map manager within Locus.... Does that just remove it from the map or delete the map file from the phone?

Hmm, not for me, here's what I do.

Last post by Tapio - Yesterday at 17:35:01Nice intended changes.
Export root folder to GPX: I had to enter a name, but that wasn't used anywhere.
LM simply dumped all contents, i. e. thousands of gpx files from all database folders into one target folder on Android, intended? Imo it should rebuild the folder structure in OS file system. I can only judge gpx: Offer "to single gpx" only if tracks/points are from one level. Otherwise brand it "single zip file", preserving folder structure.
3-state eye, haven't seen the 3rd state. Blue and no line if All shown, but also if some aren't shown (in subfolders).

Last post by freischneider - Yesterday at 17:25:15I 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.

Last post by Graf Geo - Yesterday at 13:24:18I don't have a strong opinion on export. I actually only use export as an additional backup for important tracks and occasionally to be able to import individual tracks into another app or web application.
If I can export individual folders, then I would like to be able to optionally exclude subfolders.

track labels changes to "Complex" > it works correctly to me. Labels on the map for tracks directly in this folder (not sub-folders) are changed
to @michaelbechtold as well ... export of the whole structure > app already do operations over folders & sub-folders, this is not a problem. What I do not know, is how to deal with the structure.
Picking all the points and tracks, even from sub-folders, and export them to a single file > not a big problem. Is this enough? Someone will want to keep the structure of the folders right? Maybe also for import, right? And here problems start
@Andrew Heard
conversion is done automatically at start, no questions. Anyway I wrote you over email as there will probably be some unknown problem
