My library (Data manager), V2

Happy New Year!

Back from a short trip, I was only now able to install RC17.

Option to deactivate search of folders: great!

Search now remembers settings: perfect!

Many thanks!

Small issue, no idea if this has already been reported:

When I place the "my library" icon in the side panel and press and hold it, the handy "Hide all" function is not available. See screenshot.

Another small visual imperfection:

In the left panel, next to the German entry "Meine Bibliothek", the number of displayed elements is positioned very close to the text at 6 digits around the "/", which looks a bit unattractive to me. (Screenshot 1)
At 7 digits there is a text wrap = better. (Screenshot 2)

Perhaps this could also be done at 6 digits?

BTW: since there is only one entry under the blue heading "My library" (again "My library"), this is somehow duplicated. But I can't think of an ideal solution either. Perhaps you could combine Library and Points as a heading and place the "My Library" entry with a vertical space between them (screenshot 3).

Another suggestion for improving the new MyLib database functionality:

Breadcrumbs are perfect.

But when I select individual points or tracks in a folder and want to move them to another folder, the breadcrumbs are unfortunately not displayed and I have to click through the entire folder structure again to select the target folder.

This is annoying as I often want to move individual tracks/points to new subfolders of the current folder.

Couldn't the breadcrumbs also be displayed in selection mode?

New test version RC20 based on 4.28.0.1 version.

Internally, we are testing synchronization and finalizing iOS and the new web planner!!

I'll have to read carefully this whole topic again, later > not to miss some interesting ideas. Thanks for them!

@Graf Geo
What you want is a completely different approach of how to deal with copy/move operations. Something closer to copy&paster known from desktop etc. We were thinking about it and decided to keep the old tested system.

Many thanks for the update! The search in points and tracks now works reliably and only looks at the titles and descriptions. Very good!

Of course you could think about adding an option to search in via points (not in shaping points!), as you can name them yourself and also in file names of attached files (photos/audios/videos). So of course not in the cryptic code as before.😉 But that would probably complicate the whole thing and in this respect it is good as it is now.

Regarding copy and move operations: I would actually just like to have a way to quickly and easily find the desired destination folder in a nested folder system. It doesn't really matter how this is done. In this post, I already suggested another option that would help here.

Maybe you'll find an easy-to-implement variant in the future.

The only thing missing now is cloud synchronisation with the web server, then the MyLib version is pretty much perfect! But that's coming soon. 🙂

Have a nice weekend!

I mentioned one issue in the past
https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9117.msg77363#msg77363

And I may have another issue which might explain the first one.
Searching for the string "trail", if disabling "search also in description", then this string is only found when at start of the name, if enabling search in description, then this string is also found when in the middle of the name.

PS : no descriptions in my tracks, only names. You cannot view this attachment.

@Mick FU: you're right, issue confirmed...

Hello menion
this weekend i'm making my first experiences with the new database... and I still need some time to internalise the process.

it takes 4 clicks to open a geocache folder and just as many to switch back to the map view.    
If the number of poi is greater than 1000, there is a display problem, see SS

There are 2 problems when updating geocache folders, although I still don't understand the difference between the two options.
with the first option an error message appears
with the other, the update process is limited to 60 caches/h.
I can start the process again immediately after this message, but only the first 60 caches are ever updated

One Bug:   
under sort the toggle for inverse does nothing.

One missing feature:
Move tracks/folders up the tree (root is bottom) is only possible inside the folder and Edit.
Not via select multiple and Tools/Move.
Means a lot of clicks when multiple things should be moved.
Any reason for this or just forgotten?

One Bug:

Can't confirm that. Sort inverse toggle works as it should for me.

@CabrioTourer - can't confirm right now, but I thought this was fixed in latest version? I had same question, and was addressed, few months ago.

[balloni55]

you previously used to be able to temporarily hide tracks and POIs with a long click on the icon in the sidebar, this is not working at the moment


in addition, it used to be possible to open the complete content of the POI/track folder with a long click on its icon with a maximum of one further click

One Bug:

Can't confirm that. Sort inverse toggle works as it should for me. 

Maybe I missunderstood something. Let's check.
I'm on 28.0.1 RC20.

Inside a folder the sort field at the bottom is greyed out. Looks like it only shows actual sort logic.
Only possibility to sort content of an folder is to go one level down. Long click (select) the folder. Then 3dot/Sort/Inverse.
Now deselect folder and open the folder.
Result is same order as before. No change, no inverse sort.

The way is not that logical but it's the only one I found.
Do I something wrong?

Not via select multiple and Tools/Move.

@CabrioTourer - can't confirm right now, but I thought this was fixed in latest version? I had same question, and was addressed, few months ago.

I have
Inside root  I have folder 1, folder 2.
Insider folder 1 I have folder 1.1 and folder 1.2

I select folder 1.1/Tools/Move
The dialog which opens shows entries of root. folder 1 is greyed out. So I have no chance to select folder 1.2 as target.

Version 28.0.1 RC 20
