My library (Data manager), V2

[freischneider]

The Statistics selection field is available in the settings. As I see it, there are only the 2 numbers 0/15 at the top of the line for My library. In my opinion, this is superfluous and could always be there. It just makes it more complex and many will wonder what it does (helpdesk work).

[freischneider]

Settings (style): Slim or Full. This setting makes sense in any case. But I would like it not to be general. But applicable per folder. In folders with many similar subfolders, I would like to set Slim. But where recorded tracks are included, I definitely want Full.
Maybe you can say, folder Slim and Tracks always Full ?

Again @Tapio:

Filter works, at least what I have tried. If I filter by date range in a folder (e.g. 01.10.24 - 05.10.24), only the corresponding tracks are listed.

[freischneider]

Settings (style): Basic or Advanced. It took me a long time to find out what the difference is. As I see it, it is only the bottom line with sorting and filter, selection, new elements. If I choose Basic it is just at the top of the 3 point menu. I think almost everyone, when they find it, will set Advanced. The only advantage I see is that there is one more line at the bottom. Is it worth it?

Maybe I'm blind or a bit slow on the uptake. I don't see where or what the "Statistics" checkbox affects. I don't see any difference. Nowhere...

@freischneider, Basic vs Advanced

Thanks, now I can finally see the effect. But the option is useful. If you don't need the filter, sorting etc. functions that often and would rather have more space for the list, Basic is the better choice.

Got it. I filtered by name on root level. Then went into a folder, but didn't notice the filter only applies to one level.

@Tapio: Then there would be problems with slightly longer folder names and/or smaller displays, and line breaks would occur more quickly.

Yes, I mentioned before, I wish there was a slimmer view, with no line breaks (also for tracks and points), for maximum overview.

Sort by length is in now, thx Menion.

Beta RC10 uploaded.

@Menion - startup now working - thanks!

While trying to locate the "Backup" "setting", performing a Search & typing "b.a.c..." I got the impression that LM4 RC10 was using 100% CPU because Android asked whether to close or wait, and the UI was e.x.t.r.e.m.e.l.y slow to respond until it displayed Backup in search results.

"The lower one is for tracks but the upper one shows a full folder, there should be an icon for points " > not sure if understand, but the current right icon in the folder item is for points & tracks. I currently do not have ready-to-use icon that represent points and icons at once.

statistics disabled by default > good point, I'll enable it for advanced users (users that previously had any data) by default, but keep disabled for the new users.

slim vs full per folder > I'll think about it, but can't promise for now

basic vs advanced style > yes, it worth it  . A lot more simpler user interface for new users

@Graf Geo
search in folders with numbers > I'll look at it, thanks

the bottom panel in the search > I'll have to create a more robust solution for this :/

@Andrew Heard
It works now, perfect, finally!

100% CPU during search > does this happen always when you open a search screen and start typing? There may be a short 100% usage, but definitely not for more seconds ...

Subfolder icon in folders (full style):

The subfolder icon is displayed in every folder, even if there are no subfolders. Then there is the icon with the number zero.

Would it be possible for the subfolder icon to only appear if there is at least one subfolder? So never with zero? That would be clearer.

Method no 1 (recommended)
- separate device, where this version may be installed and tested
- immediately after installation, restore the backup from your main device
- after re-start, the app will do a database conversion

@Menion or anyone - 2nd step "immediately after installation, restore the backup from your main device" - clarify "immediately"? After a clean install of RC10 > open LM4 > grant permissions > map of Prague displayed (when Wifi enabled), exactly what steps are used to "restore the backup"? I tried main menu > all features > setup > settings > Backup & filesystem > Backup manager > Restore from backup > restore my complete ZIP of all tracks & POI > restart > crash. LM always crashes then @ startup. I then found it impossible to fix except with delete Locus/data/database/* and the Android settings > apps > Locus > Storage > Clear Data.

Thanks for any help. sigh...

BTW the # steps required to perform a Restore of a backup ZIP are pretty well "buried" - SEVEN steps!
