Last post by Menion - Yesterday at 08:39:48Hello Andrew,
when setting up a root directory, there is already an option to just "Select without data move". It is hidden in the context menu, see screenshot.
But agree that UI is different in both cases and in the ideal world, it should not be...

Other features / File manager - when selecting ...
Last post by Andrew Heard - January 11, 2026, 22:18:54Recently I had to install an older APK (many times in fact, tracking down a bug). Although no data loss, in my confusion I incorrectly overwrote the tracks database file, and wasted time, when I set the Main directory.
I changed the default main directory from Data to Media. Data only contained the default database files. Media already contained my actual database files. 1) There is no smart warning/ check whether larger or existing/ actual files are going to be overwritten by smaller/ default files. 2) There is no option to move the main directory without copying files. Note "LATER" really just means "CANCEL".
You cannot view this attachment.
Contrast the above dialog, with changing the backup sub-directory dialog below. I suggest this is an improvement, but also why the difference approaches? In this dialog there are 3 options, the first two same as the main directory, but also a useful third option "WITHOUT DATA MOVE".

As a general comment, in any situation where a file(s) is to be moved or copied to another directory, a check should first be performed whether a file of the same name exists in the destination directory, and warn the user it will be overwritten. Here is the dialog in Windows:

This setting was indeed off. Guess, it was to cold today for me to realize it.

I'm out in the woods right now on a hike and figured out that the "keep the position" get lost as soon as I zoom in or out. Can someone confirm this, please? Thanks.

I think, it is because you have "hold map center" turned off (no lock on the center symbol. Can you confirm this?

Just two really minor points:
1. Having the distance marker activ and setting the track color to "using folder style" does not change the color of the distance markers.
2. Creating a new folder showing the icon I did set in the expert settinge as "default point icon". Shouldn't it be a folder icon?

I consider this a minor problem. Will try to look at it, but can't promise a quick solution for now. Thanks for understanding.
I also consider it a minor problem. I just wanted to note it for completeness, so that you are aware of the issue. 👍
