Hi Christian,
and isn't the Point Alert function solving this?

Thanks guys. I've improved this. During start > no change will happen next time. I'll make this "Optimise database" task optional somehow.

@Menion - +5 minutes here waiting. I guess I wasn't expecting the startup time to be any different to other startups - just small text "update of databases" - could provide better warning to expect longer delay. But why on 2nd startup did it run immediately then? Was "vacuum" only once-off?
 

Same here. I gave up after 3 Minutes stuck at 52% and killed the app. Some indicator that the App is not stuck or frozen would be helpful. The restart after the kill also went *a lot* faster

Greetings, Ulrich

Troubles & Questions / Adding a photo to a point shou...

Last post by Graf Geo - Yesterday at 21:56:15

Today, I wanted to add photos as attachments to several points. Once again, I noticed that this is quite cumbersome and requires a lot of clicks:

1. I create a point.

2. I open it, select edit and then attach file.

3. I select "Select photo" . (BTW: Now it depends: if I select a photo directly from the system gallery, a copy of the photo is created under menion.android.locus/data/media/photo. However, if I select the photo from my gallery app, a link to the photo's storage location is set, e.g. ... /DCIM.)

4. Now I have to choose whether the photo should be used as an icon.

5. Now I want to add a description. To do this, I have to click on the pencil icon on the photo. The text input field opens. However, I cannot write my text straight away, but have to click on the pencil icon to the right of it again. (Why??)

6. Now I write the description and click on the tick.

7. Now I have to save it, but the save button is hidden by the text input field.

8. I first have to swipe away the text input field before I can finally save it.

This should be much easier:

When I select a photo, the text input field could appear directly below it, where I can write directly if necessary or leave it blank. The save button could be there immediately so that I can save the photo straight away, regardless of whether I enter a description or not.
Similarly, the selection field (photo as icon or not) could be displayed in the same dialogue box and retain the last selected status permanently until I change it.

Everything in one dialogue box would save a lot of clicks.

Other features / Notification on points within ...

Last post by Christian - Yesterday at 21:53:41

Since Locusmap can merge points with tracks during import and create points within a track I did not use points folder anymore. All my points are inside my tracks. I use these POIs intensively. Like this

Code Select Expand

<wpt lat="47.99285296723334" lon="10.774168074131014"><name>Singold Quelle km8</name><sym>Flag, blue</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.1725826072008" lon="10.741839198891203"><name>Edeka Schwabmuenchen km35</name><sym>Shopping Center</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.27088344326007" lon="10.835394859313967"><name>Edeka Bobingen km50 +0,5</name><sym>Shopping Center</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.34424170745477" lon="10.864577293395998"><name>Singold-Fabrikkanal-Zsfl</name><sym>Flag, blue</sym></wpt>

But I can not use the feature 'point notification' in folders so I miss POIS very often.
It is possible to create a notification for waypoints? (not wpt for navigation) equal to notification for folders: sound and distance can be changed.

@Graf Geo
POI alert on photos > heh, funny problem. Exclude geotagged photos from POI alert? Is this a solution you always want?

Yes, ideally optional (if anyone would like to be notified when photos are taken). In any case, I don't want to be alarmed when I take a photo.

Hello.
The problem persists when I select the compass with GPS enabled on Xiaomi 15T Pro (Android 16).

I can confirm that. It's the same with my Poco F5.

The error may be with the Xiaomi, Poco, and Redmi brands.
I just updated a Honor 200 to Android 16 and there is no error.

Same on two devices. The progress bar remained stuck at 52%. On the S10, restarting Locus helped, while on the MotoE60, waiting a while was sufficient.
