Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.27.+ ( 1...
Last post by Menion - December 06, 2024, 14:11:57Import is simple ... just tap on zip in any file browser or just use the existing "Import" function in the app.
Export is worst, agree ...

Should sure be better documented and or indicated as hardly anyone will be able or detect how to export and import icon packages this way.

Troubles & Questions / Re: Edit line style of a track...
Last post by Graf Geo - December 06, 2024, 11:58:07Once again on the subject of line style.
The problem with the "Clone folder style" button has now been fixed. This also works well.
But I have another discrepancy with the line style.
In the general settings under "Points and Tracks" > Tracks I have set the line style to red and 3 px. So that should be the default style.
In the route planner settings I have set the line style to pink with 50 % transparency and 8 px.
If I click on a track created with the route planner on the map and want to change the line style, I first have to deactivate "use folder style". Then the editing dialogue is ALWAYS set to red and 8 (!) px. So not to the 3 px that I have set as default. And also not to pink and 50 % transparency.
So why only the thickness is applied when the "use folder style" button is deactivated, but the colour and transparency are taken from the default settings, I don't understand and I don't find it logical either. This is a mix of completely different setting areas.
When I go to edit a track from the folder list, whether planned or recorded (select track, change style), the "use folder style" button is immediately deactivated and the colour is set to red and 3 px. This is the default style from the general settings.
That's no big deal, but for me it's not coherent behaviour.

Last post by luce - December 06, 2024, 10:53:13Version 4.27.1 (1153): Settings button is back, thank you Jiří 
@T-mo: Thank you – I know the settings can be found in the "All features" menu and the quick settings can be edited by a long click, but these are just workarounds when the "main" settings button disappears. However, the issue is solved now

Last post by Graf Geo - December 06, 2024, 10:47:18@Menion and all who have the warning with external themes with large images:
I was able to quickly check and fix this. In the elevate.zip the images (svg) are stored in the subfolder "ele-res". Sorted by size, there are only two images that exceed 20 KB (33 and 21 KB). That's not exactly "huge".
I have reduced the size of both images with an online tool (https://svgomg.net/), saved them and packed them back into the zip.
If other/more themes are affected, you have to do the same.
Then start Locus again and the warnings are gone.
I cannot judge whether the 20 KB limit is set too low.

Last post by Andrew Heard - December 06, 2024, 10:44:23Quote from: Menion on December 05, 2024, 23:59:31the new warning in "themes" is a serious warning, that the theme contains huge SVG/PNG images that should be reduced by the theme creator. I have a lot of crashes of the app caused by a few themes that have insane 100+kb big SVG images inside. I'm sure that theme creators improve themes once they notice this@menion, I understand your explanation, but the error message could be more helpful. if it had at least one image file name mentioned I think it would make more sense what the issue is.

Last post by Menion - December 05, 2024, 23:59:31Thanks for the quick night feedback!
Google refused the current version, so one new night 4.27.1 (1153) was generated, so please update.
@balloni55
custom icons > has the "share" option little hidden under "info" button (next to pack selection)
screen/navigation cursors > has a share option under the three-dot menu
when zip with cursors/icons is imported into the app, it should correctly detect what this zip is about and offer "import"
@luce
give a try to the new version if it helps
@Gerhard57
also the new version, should be fixed, thanks

Last post by T-mo - December 05, 2024, 23:48:58@Luce: see pictures below.
(Und ist unter 'Alle Funktionen' zu finden, siehe Bild 4)
Maybe 'settings' should be 1 of the icons at least, does not seem to be the case with this setup. Should get doublechecked, identical to 'settings' cannot be disabled at all.

Last post by jonny.blue - December 05, 2024, 23:26:42QuoteIn 4.27.1, problems with the OAM themes are suddenly displayed, which was never the case before. See screenshots.
Same to me. 😥
