subdirectorys in maps

[gynta]

i wish..
plz make it possible, to have subdirs in the mapdir.
i have many, many custom-maps.
and it was not so easy to find a map without a struktue.

in the mapsVector directory already works!
plz add this nice feature also in the maps-dir

hi gynta,
  I think this should also work in personal maps directory (locus/maps). Did you tried this? Maps directory allow one subdirectory and it have also advantage that all maps in subdir works as one map

[gynta]

Yes i tested with only one sub dir - dont works.

[Menion]

it works as it should. You see directory names. Sqlite maps stored in sub dirs works as one map. This is current system for handling more SQLite maps (and for using maps bigger then 2GB which is file limit for android).

You want to have maps in list separated by black line with directory name as in vector maps folder right?

[gynta]

Yes, thats was i want
i like to select a singlemap for myself - not ALL in ONE

And..
...why i can see the map "hausfeld_breitenlee" ?
this map is not in "maps" - this map is also in the subdir, called "1st_sub"

[Menion]

hmm don't know did't you add this map manually by bottom button? Or are you sure it isn't in root map directory? It can also be some locus issue ...

[gynta]

did't you add this map manually by bottom button?

u mean "download"? hmm, maybee sometimes - i never know.

Or are you sure it isn't in root map directory?

yes, im sure  

btw.
 in the top(statusbar) now i can't see the name of a map (mapname is now the subdirname  :| )
 so i never know what exactly map i use.

hmm whatever, its not useful 4me in the moment...

now i has delete this map - but i can see in the list. :shock:
is there an extra place for downloaded maps?

and is the conclusion i never can place this maps in subdirs?

[Menion]

yes, you currently cannot place separated maps in subdirs. There was no reason for this. I was thinking about it now, and still not big see reason for this. How much maps you have? There is simple problem with current system ... I used subdirs as storage for multi-maps. If you want to change this, there will be need some hack to allow use maps in subdir, as separate maps. Maybe some invisible empty file in subdir called ".separate" that will force not to take whole directory as one map? Will this be useful for anyone more? Because it's quite big intervention to current system ...

[gynta]

k, i see..
well, you are right - it was not really important.
simply i will rename all files to have a sorted list.
im sure, u have much more on your ToDo-List.
