I imported a geocache gpx into Locus. Tried to exclude (filter out) all found caches but filter displays that I have only found 5 caches instead of over 700. But the list containes all found caches. So now I have to uncheck all the found ones manually. What could be the problem?
Previously there haven't been such problem. It appeared after an update witch redesigned the look of POI list.

I'm not understanding this myself..  In the Points list, there's the filter icon that shows each type of cache in the list, as well as Hide Found and Hide Disabled.  If I check Hide Found, I only see the number of caches in this category which aren't marked as found.

I still wish there was also a way to see "Did Not Find" caches, but hiding found seems to work?

You can hide them - so they do not show up in the list, bust they are still on the map. Previously I could filter out all the found caches and they did not show up on the map.

oiorokko that's not true. Previous filter worked in same way! Filter option in Locus affect only visibility of POI in POI manager screen, not on a map. SO if you want to show only "not founded cached", just go to POI manager screen, disable all filters and deselect all points. Now you see all points in category and none of it is on map. Now you enable filter "Hide found" and then by second button select all POI. This will select only POI visible on screen so all except found. And all selected point will be visible on map now (selected = visible on map)

Oh, that is the way to do it now. Previously I had to filter out found ones and then i could deselect them and so they were not seen on map. But I could try the way you described now. Thanks.

I have a little question. How Locus recognizes found caches? Is there possibility to import all my found caches form gpx file and make Locus see them as found. Is there any marker in structure of gpx file responsible for it.

found cache should have this symbol name

<sym>Geocache Found</sym>

Thanks for an answer:) I also would like to know how to modify my gpx file to present an attributes of a geocaches (//http://www.locusmap.eu/wp-content/uploads/screenshots/poi_geocaching/ss_008.jpg). I suspect that gpx files downloaded from polish geocaching site (http://www.opencaching.pl) has no right xml markers. That's why Locus can't see geocaches attributes.
Shortly:
1. What xml markers Locus needs to recognize attributes.
2. Where can I find attributes icons and is there a possibility to change them?

Check post //http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=275718&view=findpost&p=4913155 on gc.com forums.
Locus shows attributes fine, when you use following notation:

      <groundspeak:attributes>
        <groundspeak:attribute id="33" inc="0">Motorcycles</groundspeak:attribute>
        <groundspeak:attribute id="15" inc="1" >Available during winter</groundspeak:attribute>
        <groundspeak:attribute id="14" inc="1">Recommended at night</groundspeak:attribute>
      </groundspeak:attributes>

The attribute name is not significant (I guess), the id number is enough.

I haven't found a list with id numbers + icons, it must exist somewhere (in Locus, for example :)

Thanks. It's useful information for me.

I've managed to find icons with decription: //http://www.geocaching.com/about/icons.aspx.
