SS 5 - 7 here:

@Mick FU
the previous button was useless, it only opened the My Library screen and its search. Simply open the My Library screen and tap on the search button at the top bar.

My apologize, working very well as you describe. Happy again 😊🙏

@Graf Geo
thanks for the screenshots. This does not happen to me, but seems that the page is stuck on the selection of the folder. I'll improve it a little with the hope, it helps.

After the first sync is done, you should see a web portal switched to version 2 and since this moment, no more sync from any other device on V1 will be allowed.

@Menion - so this is a production/ public pre-release? I have not done any MyLibV2 testing on my day-to-day phone - too risky. Once I install on my phone & cloud sync, I should delete all data from my testing tablet which has MyLibV2 and restore a backup from phone into tablet?

Will a track/point backup from 4.28.0, then restore into RC23 work? (I'm just minimizing risks of data loss)

I tried doing manual sorting of some MyLibV2 folders/ tracks yesterday. What is the trick? I tried long-tap+drag but gesture is ignored. It sounds like my manual sorting needs to wait until the Web Planner supports it.

Not using V2 yet and maybe it's already possible: would be great to have an export incl. nested items (recursive), e.g. export folder '2024 journey' exports all included subfolders incl. their items.

With V2 more or less file-explorer-capabilities get brought or mimicked. Good thing is this is well-known.
I guess it helps to have a look at Solid Explorer, TotalCommander and others to get the best of all worlds and the best LM4-View-Sort-Options and Search-Function possible.
More meant as remark, I already saw some pics of menu/options and have no reason to complain.

And one more RC25 version ...

  4.28.0.2 MyLibV2 RC25
  - fix: back handling of the filter page
  - fix: closing of "Choose multi-select action" dialog
  - fix: correct pause of the search in MyLib when back pressed
  4.28.0.2 MyLibV2 RC24
  - fix: rare crash when syncing deleted folders
  - fix: correct sort of folders in "Choose folder" screen
  - fix: clean of empty database with number of empty custom folders

And hi Andrew,
backup is important of course. App anyway do one manual backup just before the internal data migration > automatically. So yes, these latest RC versions are really pre-release versions. I'm not aware of any problem, so I'm very close to saying "it is perfectly stable and ready to use".

Older versions should be also possible. App in these cases deletes old data, restores new data, and performs migration during the next start.

Manual sorting > this option is available under the sort menu of every folder. For simplicity, it was made as a small separate screen. There are anyway some time challenges on the web and iOS so it is possible, that this feature won't be enabled in the first version but in the second during March. Why? To avoid too many questions like this one (manual sorting is not applied to the web)

4.28.0.2 MyLibV2 RC25

@Menion - all good so far on main phone & subsequent CloudSync to WebPlanner. Not checked yet on tablet.

One idea for later on: support other query strings for web.locusmap.app/en/.

Currently for example:
web.locusmap.app/en/?lat=-42.1234&lng=147.1234&z=17&map=hikeBike

Suggestion: load web page direct for a folder rather than having to navigate:
web.locusmap.app/en/?folder=/mylibrary/tracks/2025/trips/xyz

[Menion]

All good > fine.

Persistent paths that preserve certain UI (as you wrote with the path to "My library") are planned for a very long. I hope things move faster on the web now...

RC25: The problem still exists (not always, but often). But I have noticed that if I click on the destination folder three times in quick succession, I can select it.

reminder:
#184 Update geocache GC4L > IllegalStateExeption
Locus update caches work

#186, 187, 188

but how can the previously selected POIs track be displayed again with one click?

[CabrioTourer]

Thanks for Sync feature. I did it multiple times in a row. Even after the 3,4,5,6th sync it says "deleted date", "6/6 100%"
Does this means it tries to delete data and it doesn't work?

More important a question to Web. In the past web was useless for me bcs of missing points.
I was very happy to see this is now transfered to web.
But it doesn't use same icons for each point as in the App. Is this an upcoming feature or not planned ?

For me that's not a gimmick. I use self designed icons to show the quality/fun factor of certain streets in the Alps in 6 levels.
In the App this gives a great quick overview to design a track with all the funny parts included.
In the web this important info is lost.
Woukd be nice if this is planned. Otherwise I'll still skip the web which isn't a big problem.

Thanks for the ongoing great progress of Locus.

@CabrioTourer - strange, for me (except as you note the custom icon) points have always been CloudSync'd ok. example below - non-custom icons are all correct

Search string in tracks:
All my tracks are in folders per years, and then named YYYY-MM-DD*
I tried to search 2016-03 in my folder 2016 and it is finding nothing (while there are tracks), searching 2016 is working
Linked to the dash (-)?
Something I don't see to search differently?
Thanks.

[Graf Geo]

I cannot confirm this. All the relevant tracks are found when I search for "2022-0", for example.

[Andrew Heard]

Linked to the dash (-)?

@Mick FU - all working for me - I have tracks named <YYYYMMDD>-<HHMM><etc> and a search for "20250201-1" found correct two tracks.
