[APP] - version 4.28.+ ( 2/2025 )

[martin.fd]

I encountered another issue with the latest app (or Android?) version: https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9211.0

Not sure what is the advantage of the new Lib. On first view the list of folders has smaller font and icon size and a lot of unused space. Hard to read without glasses

The guiding function doesn't throw any notification anymore. No sounds, no activation of the display. Nothing. Happens after update of two installations.
Guiding (even in this unfinished version) is one of my (few) favourite and most used tools in LM. Would you please care about it?! Yesterday I lost my way often than manually had to activate the display before each possible junction and draining the battery. This cuts a lot of the joy of a sunny day on the bike.

Go settings - tools - dashboard - nrw - create a new dash - save: all is closed. To activate or change the new dashboard I have to go all the way again. Not user friendly.
I know i can place a icon in the side bar. But an app should be usable even without shortcuts.

And please leave my settings unchanged during updates. Thank you.

Not sure what is the advantage of the new Lib.

@Christian - for me the standout advantages are:

• single consolidated "folder structure" instead of artificial distinction between tracks & points
• up to 6 levels of subfolders
• quick "return" to current folder when MyLibrary button is tapped (instead of navigating any hierarchy)

I didn't have any problems with my dashboards during upgrade.

Hi, 4.28 is still not available in Google Play, Slovakia country (checked 09.03 at 07:28) and as I have 4.27.2 I'm not able to synch my tracks from cloud planner. Please, how to continue?

Thanx for your explanation.
Since the beginning of LM managing points was always a mess. So I learned to avoid using it. An improvement appears some years ago when merging points with a track became possible. So no improvement in the points manager.
I use one (1) level of subfolders. Thats enough for me. More I would get lost.
Quick return to (into) a certain folder was always possible by tapping a diplayed track on the map and tap the folder name in the details. So no improvement for me.
After reading all the tests and announcement of the golden Lib I expected not less then the promised kingdom. So I'm a little bit disappointed and still have to wait for the salvation 

Apropos dashboard - when creating a new dashboard sometimes the text input field for the name is missing. Not funny.

The new library works like a charm. What I miss very much though is the option to show the previously visible elements.

In the old library, you had hide all / show all and then you got the question to show only the previous elements.

Google Play releases only % of users. From the link you can download the latest version.

I forgot one thing.
go to a subfolder - tap three points - tools - export - export title: name of the subfolder
ALL of the tracks within the db are exported
Is this supposed to be this way?

[Christian]

Question:
If I create a track in bikerouter.de the exported GPX has a link-tag.

Code Select Expand

  <link href="https://bikerouter.de/#map=10/46.8758/11.7595/standard&amp;lonlats=11.847382,46.775862;11.852875,46.759865&amp;profile=hiking-beta">
   <text>bikerouter.de</text>
  </link>When importing the gpx with the mentioned tag, LM refused to import and show an orange message for less then a second. Can't read.
What is wrong with the link-tag?

[Andrew Heard]

Quick return to (into) a certain folder was always possible by tapping a diplayed track on the map

@Christian - if the track is visible.

With such massive functionality there will be a broad spectrum of opinion. Can't please everyone all the time. I have saved all my tracks & POI since ~2015. I have a top level folder for each year. Underneath is a folder for each mode - walk, car, bike(group), bike(solo), run, trips, other. Underneath trips (now) is a folder for each holiday, often with POI along the way & places stayed. Underneath are sometimes folders with various routing options. The new flexibility has made my organisation consistent, flexible, grouped together & easier to find what I want. Everyone will be different.

@Christian - visibility is different to "selected". Try long-tap on an item > checkbox > (optionally) other checkboxes > export. I hope that works; just going from memory as someone else asked recently.

[Christian]

Thanx.
Thats weird.
: Go into subfolder - nothing is selected - export - all tracks of the db are exported.
: Go into a subfolder - select a couple of tracks / not all within - export - all tracks of the subfolder are exported.
What I expect:
: select a subfolder within a folder - long tap on eye - export - all tracks of the subfolder will be exported.
: Go into a subfolder - none selection within the subfolder - export - all tracks of the subfolder will be exported.
: Go into a subfolder - select a couple of tracks - export - selected tracks will be exported
: Go into a folder (contains subfolders) - none selection - export - all content of the folder including subfolder will be exported.

@Christian
sorry to see such disappointment in your case. You expected "promised kingdom" ... any more info? 

Add new dashboard > how often does this happen? There is nothing special on this window. It is also used on may places (dialog with text field).

Export of the folder
- "Export" option under three dots > "Tools" menu is related to the folder, so it simply exports the whole folder (and if I remember correctly, also sub-folders at once!)
- to export only a portion of items, you have to select them and then use "Export" from the selection menu. In your case, probably the easiest is > menu > Select > Select displayed, to get only visible tracks selected (marked with the checkbox on the right side). Then from tools, the big button at the bottom-right, choose Export. Better?

Anyway thanks for the good question ... when I'm describing it, understand it is a little unclear. Will look at it ...

@Blihi
remember previously visited > yes, this is one of the few things that was problematic in the previous version (technically on background), so I've decided to remove it. Not sure how to replace it > maybe some option to save state of visible content? Hmm, I'm just worried, that it only make things more complicated ...

[Christian]

@Menion - would you please care about the broken guiding fuction at first?

The guiding function doesn't throw any notification anymore. No sounds, no activation of the display. Nothing. Happens after update of two installations.

Than the rest.
Thank you.

Hi Menion. Small request. There are now more versions of AFA files in Google Cloud. However, there is no role on the mobile display, which is. You can't even find out from the details. Could you please name files so that you can distinguish from each other? See SCR.
