So hatte ich es auch verstanden, es funktioniert trotz deiner tollen Anleitung nicht, zumindest bei mir.
Vielleicht habe ich in Locus andere Einstellungen als du gesetzt.

Gleiche Vorgehensweise wie bei dir im Video, nur bei mir geht es nicht, oder sehe ich den Wald vor Bäumen nicht?

Wie zu sehen, Locus nimmt die mit aktivierten GPS zuletzt gesetzte Position als Referenzpunkt.

Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.4.+ ( 23. 9. 2021+ )

LM became unreliable when dealing with many tracks. Import of more than 1000 gpx not possible. Crash. Display of many tracks not possible. From a 1600 tracks folder it loads 30%, then crashes. Maybe other users confirm...

ah got it. Seems to be a new limitation of A11 where it can't access downloaded images in a private directory. Uff, fortunately there exists a method directly from Google ... should work in the next app version.

And not working auto-hide. Because "Download data" is part of the top panel, it is currently intent.

@slarti76
I'll rather not promise that this feature will be implemented. A nice help desk topic with a huge amount of votes may convince me  . Because it will mean quite a lot of work to do it properly. The priority now is perfectly working migration to new app version & migration between Locus Map Pro and Locus Map 4. So currently there is no time for this kind of stuff.

Terminology united across the app, thanks. On all places will be used "storage".

I also stumbled over one sentence in the docs (under "What if I refuse"):
"you can load the original data any time from the app main menu or from settings > miscellaneous > default directory"
I honestly don't understand that - what does "load" mean in this context? Do you mean I can start the copying of the old (original) data at a later time? However, the sentence more sounds like "you can start Locus without copying the data and then change the default directory at runtime and have access to the old data again".
Anyway, this should be worded more clearly.

"Is it then possible to divide app and data over private directories in internal memory and SD card" - not yet. If there will be bigger interest, I may work on it and this is definitely a doable task.

1000% supported! I have very big non-vector maps (OruxMaps format) on extSd, which won't fit on intSd, but also don't want to take the performance hit to database operations on extSd.
I don't want to spend lifetime getting angry at Google for this change, we few people won't be able to change it. And I don't really care about the actual paths to data (I would care about inability to share this data, but I don't need that, so I'm fine). But if there's any way to make use of the data on int and ext SD at the same time, that would be a big improvement! I would probably wait with updating Locus if you now tell us, you'll tackle this... Thx for considering!

Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.4.+ ( 23. 9. 2021+ )

Hello menion,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdzsdrqhfsdmkov/20211129_081230.mp4?dl=0

the problem occurs with every cache with images, regardless of whether the images are in the listing or as an attachment/spoiler.
When creating the video I noticed that the images are only displayed once when they are downloaded with wifi for the first time.
Once the images are available under locus/data/geocaching.... they are no longer displayed.
If I delete the saved images, they are re-downloaded and displayed once when I open the geocaches again with wifi.

----

if inside a preset the top panel is set to "auto hide"
autohide didn´t work if hight data of the map area is not available

@tapio
hmm, there will be probably more places where the app uses absolute paths. This is a little unfortunate as I never expected that the app will have to move its private directory to a different location. Sorry for this ...

"Exports" .. right, currently it is not possible, but it is doable. Till now, it was not necessary, now it is, understand.

@freischneider
The best solution ... ignore this topic. If you do not use anything special, the app should just offer "migrate data" process after the update, that was what we tuned all these weeks before. So hopefully, it won't be complicated.

Terminology problems ... hmm probably we missed something, thanks guys, we will look at it with Michal.
