Locus API quick_bookmark function doesn't work.

Hi. I have a problem with a API action task quick_bookmark. Function is supposed to put down a quick_bookmark and it takes a name of a preset bookmark as a parameter. https://github.com/asamm/locus-api/wiki/Action-tasks-(Broadcasts)#quick_bookmark

I made a Automate (app similar to Tasker) script to place a bookmark on key press. However in Locus there is an error saying that the bookmark is not found. As you can see from screenshots bookmark "qwerty" clearly exists.

Is this a bug or am I understanding this feature incorrectly? I tinkered with other API functions and they work fine in Automate.

Locus version 4.11.0 on Android 11.

Report it as a bug? I think it's broken. Tried it on Tasker (tasks: { quick_bookmark : { action: "start", name: "Google" } }) - here the green toast does not even appear, nothing happens at all. Other stuff like setting profiles works.

Hi guys,

@opepryk
try it please as tapio wrote, without quotations:

Code Select Expand

tasks: { quick_bookmark : { action: "start", name: "Google" } }
This works for me correctly. Just for sure.

@tapio
what your task should do? Most bookmarks need to have an open and visible map screen. Without it, does not work.

My task? I have no task, I don't need quick bookmarks triggered via intent. Was just testing what op tries.

My bad. I confused "Quick New Point" feature with "Quick bookmark". Quick bookmarks do work fine.
Similar API feature for "Quick New Point" would be very welcome.

Ah oki.
"Quick add point" seems to be a complicated task so not for now, sorry.
