My library (Data manager), V2

[Menion]

New RC16 version published.

Among a bunch of minor fixes, the main changes are related to multi-operations (show/hide, delete, move) of folders and the performance of the "Show" operation.

I accidentally downloaded the normal current beta version (apk) on my old test device with the My Library version and used it to update my My Library version. As a result, I had the previous structure with "My points" and "My tracks" again. Both empty, of course.

I then downloaded the correct apk (my library RC 16) and updated it again. Everything is ok, all tracks and points are back.

But: I now have two folders under root, points and tracks, with different icons. See screenshot. The first one contains the data, the second one is empty.

If I want to delete the empty folder, this is not possible because both folders can only be selected together. If I tick one, the other is also selected.

However, I can copy, move or save a point or track in the empty folder. It is then also displayed in the folder.

Nevertheless, the same information is displayed in front of both points and tracks folders regarding the number shown and the number available.

How can I get rid of the two duplicates without having to uninstall and reinstall the app?

Ok, I tried something and it worked: I created a new tracks and points folder and then moved the entire contents of the two old folders (filled with my files) into the new folders.

I then selected and deleted the two old "linked" tracks and points folders. Now all seems to be fine.

Still strange what happened.

Hmm, I'm surprised that the database survived such an "update" without bigger problem

What about opening the folder (second screenshot) and then tapping on the top "(Red rect) Punkte" button in the top panel > Delete?

A few comments on the search in the My Library version:

The search in my library - I click on the search icon (magnifying glass) and the search immediately starts in the entire database before I can enter a search term. This is annoying and I have to click on the arrow on the right again to be able to set further options such as "also search in descriptions".

This is better solved in the old version: I click on search (magnifying glass), then the menu opens where I can select options and enter the search term and only when I click on the magnifying glass icon again does the search start.

I also very much hope that I will soon be able to deactivate the display of folders when searching for tracks and points near my cursor position. I have already suggested this. At the moment I have to scroll laboriously until I finally get the first tracks and points listed by distance from the cursor.

Otherwise the search works well!

Hello Menion, I didn't even know about this option and therefore didn't try it. It's too late now, I've already deleted the duplicate folders by other means. 🙂

Two additions to the search in My Library (see my last post):

1. the search does not remember that I also want to search in the descriptions. I have to check this box every time. It would be nice if the last state was retained.

2. if I select the first X items in the search result, at least no folders are marked (which are always listed first). Unfortunately, the smallest X is 50, which is usually way too much for me. It would be nice if you could select smaller values like 5, 10 and 20 or even better if you could enter the number freely.

@Menion - DB "survived" for me too

I have same issue - 2 top level "Points" folders, 2 top level folders "Tracks" & "XYZ" - when I select 1 the other is selected. I don't see any "button in the top panel"?

It's been a while since I tested V2 features - excellent improvements - Solid Explorer-like breadcrumbs, multiple operations etc.

"Backuping data" - funny, intentional? maybe "Backing up data"?

Cloud sync in V2? Really? I don't dare ;-)

Sync: you can dare it without any risk, Andrew Heard. You will get a error message that sync system is not yet enabled...
