After exporting custom POIs in a .kmz file the "doc.kml" containing  some corrupted values. Because I don't  know are they really important for an internal usage in Locus app and whether they will affect the further application behavior after being imported back, but in any case...

A piece of xml code with possible corrupted hrefs in bold:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Hello Serus2
quite interesting export result. Are you able to give me exact steps on how to simulate the same problem? Steps from creating a new point up to this export. Thanks.

From the Main screen: Data -> POINTS -> "MyFavorites"...-> Export with "Share exported data" and "Incl. description & attachements".
An export path is default: "/sdcard/Locus/export"
The resulting filename could be in rus locale, if it matters.

Hi, I'm finally looking on this "problem".
What exactly is wrong here? Did you try this file in any Google Earth or similar app and icons does not work? Re-import back to Locus Map does not work? Because I agree that names and "href" are little longer, but seem to be perfectly valid.

Hmm, how should the XML parser decide, where the slashes separating folder names in the 2nd URL belong to ?

file:///sdcard/Locus/cache/images/1571471453728
versus
files/file-sdcardLocuscacheimages1571471453728.png

And why should parser decide? There is no need to separate path to folders. It is a relative path within the packed KMZ file.

I see. Sorry for the naive question. :-) It just looked strange.

No need to sorry, I had to look into code to understand it as well  ;D

It is weird because it is some kind of private icon created probably by the previous import of any kml file, do not know for sure.

Oh yes, now I see! After looking through thousands lines of my own code my eyes haven't recognized the first slash within such a deceptive name so I decided it is a bug there.  :-[
