Other features / File manager - when selecting ...
Last post by Andrew Heard - Yesterday at 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".

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.

Last post by rkern62 - Yesterday at 15:57:24I just bought a QStarz BL-1000ST and have exactly the same problem as nsanson. Is there any help available?
Obviously foolography have integrated the device with their Unleashed product. See: https://www.foolography.com/2019/11/28/external-gps-receivers-compatible-with-the-unleashed/

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.
4.32.0.7
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 also consider it a minor problem. I just wanted to note it for completeness, so that you are aware of the issue. 👍

The old "Presets" screen, for some reason, resists. On the first open, it seems to work correctly. But later ...
