[APP] - version 4.27/4.28.+ ( 12/2024 )

[T-mo]

This is mainly for the developers of themes. I believe they will notice during work on themes and modify themes appropriately.

The info is based on the size of the images inside. ...

• as OAM-Elevate has some SVGs >20kb and notice is given, I tested SVG-minification by using https://svgomg.net/. p_scree.svg with 33kb can easily be changed to 20% (7kb) or even less, probably without significant or noticeable difference in precision. Seems there is some easiliy achievable amount of optimisation
• does it make a difference if theme is zipped with normal or none compression? Maybe theme gets cached once or at least once which each start and compression doesn't really matter

the border around the rotation icon is white, so it should not be so bad as on your screens!

@Menion - poor montage, but yes, better

I remember svg updates in themes require a Locus cache deletion in order to be active. So to prevent the crashes, this might be necessary.

Is there any time horizon regarding the new data manager (including updating all caches)?

[Pcmann]

After the last update, every arrow pointing to the cache is pointing me somewhere else. The blue arrow points the other way, the red is correct. I've already rebooted, reinstalled Locus, but nothing helps. Is there any way to fix this. Thanks

@Pcmann: See here in helpdesk. Issue will be fixed:

I moved tracks + folders at the same time. Bug: it worked out of the box 😊
Track/point/folder management is a pleasure in the databasev2 version.

Hi @Menion,

Would it be possible to raise the Limit to 35k?
Please

Why:
We have put a lot of effort into optimizing the svgs so that it works for many apps.
Higher compression is not a problem, but I'm sure there will be problems with other apps apart from locus.
the current compression is the result of countless hours of testing, so...

It would be fine to stay with the current kompression.

Merry Christmas

Hello @kech61 , thanks for the insight.

The main problem I'm trying to solve is 500+kb images in one Korean theme.

To be true, the main problem is the size of the canvas defined in the SVG. MapsForge keeps in-memory these images, so images that are defined on the 1024x1024px canvas (no matter how complicated they are) are the main problem. I'm currently only (a little dummy) testing on the file size  . Anyway 35kb > no problem, improved.

Playstore update but no files on GDrive yet... will you upload (also MyLibV2) before weekend?

[Menion]

Hi guys in the new year. Petr prepared for me a nice surprise > three special GPS hardware devices for the GIS & surveying, that are already promised to be supported and that already made my head explode the last 14 days (very problematic implementation) ... and probably will need a few more days to somehow finish.

The new version on Google Play is currently only in the testing channel (for registered Google Play beta testers) and I'll most probably publish the version to the production at the start of the next week. This version was our desperate attempt to verify the version with the Android Auto support. It passed, but I think that by accident ...

Nevermind ... updates and work on LM4? Finally next week

I already wrote it here once, just a reminder...

Two little things

1) Map manager
For the Czech Republic
three dots - opens Details, Center map, Backup, Delete
For Spain - Canary Islands (submap)
there is no last option - Delete

2) Cache with many waypoints, e.g. I 💙 Beskydy, GC9M4JY has 61 waypoints.
I will show cache info. I see:
Waypoints 0/6 > (no waypoints selected), should be 0>61
Waypoints 61/ > (all waypoints are selected), should be 61>61

[Menion]

Thanks, both issues should be solved in the next update.
