Hi Michal
Missing Information about "Error code: 93"
try: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?do=search&id=Error+93

msg from:
http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4461.msg40566#msg40566

[Menion]

Such error should never happen. Issue is on Petr side and needs to be fixed. Thanks for report!

[gynta]

Hi Michal

please update
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:live_tracking

@point 2:
The path is "Discover > Live tracking"
not "Discover > Live tracking > Instructions" - because there is no "Instructions" option in the pull down menu.
"Instructions" is a part of "...Live tracking"

@point 3:
There is no "+" in the topbar

hi Gynta, chapter updated, thanks for notice

Hi Michal,
i think my knowledge using Locus and manual is reasonably well...
but sometimes i struggle to find description inside manual.

So e.g. i want to read description of Settings/Track recording
- but in table of content i can´t find "Settings"
- ok, i open Tracks&Routes also can´t find Settings in this table of content
- next i open "Tracks Recording" and well hidden i find on bottom of page link to "Track Recording Settings"
- a view on "you are here" confuse me complete, no accordance to table of content !

I think new locus users give up in this situation

my suggestion:
- add User Guide/Settings in first table of content
- add "........Settings" in each sub table of content, similar "Maps"
- if so, "you are here" should be understandable

@ balloni
In the past i had similar xperience
http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4558.msg37040#msg37040

but of course, i respect the new idea to have groups/themes now!

So the best (in most cases the only one) way to find any help is to use the "search" function.

@gynta
@balloni55

I changed the "settings" structure in Manual to more "app-like" appearance. Hope you like it

[gynta]

Hope you like it

I do! 

btw.
small hiccup in Functions - weather icon position.

[balloni55]

Hi Michal,
it looks fine 
as usual after first use some small notes ....

- icon  Web Services is missing
- icon Geocaching is displayed larger than all others

- Settings > most folders open discription on top of page
                > all Map...folders open discription a little bit lower
                > Guidance folder open discription at end of page

[Michal]

hiccup...fixed (needed a few ' ' because of differently rendered icon)

webservices - originally just a broken line - the link was common with addons and coapps. Anyway I divided it, looks better even if it leads to the same page

settings > folders - up, lower, bottom... I don't understand what's wrong?

[balloni55]

settings > folders - up, lower, bottom... I don't understand what's wrong?

sorry Michal, it was my fault
now i noticed that you jump always direct to "settings part" in description and not always to top of page

[gynta]

Please adjust to same size.
Otherwise it will destroy the layout.

[gynta]

first, thx for ignore me...




further:
@ http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=de:manual:user_guide:tracks:import
there is a no working link inside to:
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=de:manual:user_guide:tracks:import#supported_file_formats


edit by mod:  It's a german translate problem.
So -> http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4995.msg41959#msg41959
& fixed...

Hello Michal
during my problem with corrupted DB
http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/crach-after-search-in-track
i struggle a few times with infos from manual. In the meantime menion has improved this manual page, thanks
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:advanced:map_tools:corrupted_sqlite

but i think it should be more improved/added for better understanding.
- the link in manual point to a page with several downloads, but on first view user can´t find "sqlite-shell"
so it would be better in manual is written "sqlite-tools" (Win/Mac/Linux)

- please add also parts from menions screenshot to this manual
http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/crach-after-search-in-track#comment-27435
for better understandig., working with DOS/cmd isn´t daily doing

- sentence in manual "Try to import the fixed database" is unintelligible for an ordinary Locus user !
some examples would be helpfull
e.g.
- copy fixed tracks.db or waypoints.db to locus/data/database
a.s.o
so user can read in manual  HOWTO, if he get following screen
