@Andrew Heard
overview for copy > should be fixed now, thanks

@Graf Geo
track preview > hmm, please check the style settings of your line. What width value is defined there?

10100 error during search > when this happens? In normal search? Give me a text you enter to simulate this problem, thanks.

@Tapio
more complex work with "highlighted LoPoints" > I'm still not sure to be true. Maybe I'll keep it as simple as possible for now. We will see 

@balloni55
blue bar > app loads full point detail. But you've found the issue for points with a defined area, I'll fix it, thanks! It is the same issue reported by @Graf Geo here. Btw. probably best to keep issues in Beta on the forum. On the help desk, it is created as task for Michal who in the end, returns the issue to me 

@Agus
HR monitor > and this worked before? If you see the item disable in the list, it means that the is item cannot be connected to. Maybe disable/enable the sensor and try it again?

@freischneider
suggestion of categories > agree. We need to implement some kind of history for the offline world as well.

@40°
a little harder for me to simulate, but probably an identical problem to what @Graf Geo wrote. Does it happen always for the same inserted texts?

[Agus]

@Menion I had the same problem a few months ago.

@Menion:

@Graf Geo
track preview > hmm, please check the style settings of your line. What width value is defined there?

10100 error during search > when this happens? In normal search? Give me a text you enter to simulate this problem, thanks.

Track preview: At 3 px (I use this for most tracks) the line in the track preview is a bit thin. But I checked it again and the thickness is taken over. So ok. Even if it looks very different in proportion. See screenshots. Setting for testing: line thickness 50 px.

10100 error: As I wrote, it happens very often when searching for categories:
Search -> Source category -> Whoops!

Ah - I think I know now when it happens: If no corresponding object of the searched category exists in the current map section, the 10100 error comes up!
Easy to reproduce: Zoom strongly into a body of water or a Forest and search for a category that certainly does not exist there, e.g. food & drink or restaurant. If you zoom extremely into a lake so that the screen only shows a light blue area, the error message will of course appear for every category.

So the error message is nonsense, it should read: There is no element of this category in the current map section.

@Agus
very interesting, thanks. You wrote that the issue disappeared in a certain version of Locus Map. I've made no changes in the Bluetooth implementation on the Locus Map side, so it is weird that something changed. It anyway should not be caused by the app, sorry.

@Graf Geo
the difference in width is correct. App try to generate a preview independent on the device resolution.

Simulation of the search: ahhh, nice, thanks!!

a little harder for me to simulate, but probably an identical problem to what @Graf Geo wrote. Does it happen always for the same inserted texts?

Error 10100 occurs if you select "Online addresses and locations". Any text.

I can't open the video because it's private.

@Graf Geo - now fixed - now unlisted - hmm, I thought anyone with link could view a private video

But following the steps in your list I can't see any problem:

1- search for Toilets - OK
2- now search for Supermarket
3- bottom panel now displays supermarkets
4- tap panel Back button
5- now search for Food & Drink
6- bottom panel displays Food & Drink

ahh - there's the issue - your step #3 - it doesn't display supermarkets; it still displays toilets; same for #6; plus issue with panels "stacking"

[Tapio]

Serious track search issue.

Track title: Sauerland-Waldroute
Working search: sauer
Not working: waldr

[Graf Geo]

Substring search only works with preceding asterisk.
Put a * in front of it, then it works:

*-waldr

[Tapio]

OK, now I understand the approach of the online Lopoints, it still displays all types, but highlights the ones we want, imo in an exaggerated manner.

I'd prefer to have it only display what I need. Only a user defined set of lopoint types, displayed the normal way (the size is user defined in the options anyway). And nothing else. Eg, in the forest, often I am not interested in the numerous springs, which there are plenty.

And in case of user hand picked display of lopoints, the question arises if Point Alert should notify about those. IMO yes.

BTW bottom panel doesn't open on some lopoints, eg tap this one: 51.431595, 7.938974

[Graf Geo]

@Tapio: I agree with you about the LoPoint filtering, but the current highlighting also has its uses.

LoPoint 51.431595, 7.938974, that's the current problem with area LoPoints that can't be opened. I had already written about it here.
I think Menion has already registered that.

@slarti76
UI difference > easy - on tab, you probably did a fresh install right? I've decided to offer two modes. Easy for a new users (less buttons etc) and "compatibility" for existing users, so the shock is not so big. Change it in the myLib menu > "Style" dialog.

Uh, thx, totally forgot about that. Sorry.

[slarti76]

Menion, now that the new DB is working great and flawless, I think I remember you had already some improvements planned for later - is there a list somewhere here or can you let us in on the future?

Personally, what I would appreciate the most would be favorite folders and tags... 

[slarti76]

And one very small improvement request: In Google Maps, you can long-press on a POI name and the name is copied to the clipboard. In Locus, that would also be very helpful for points and tracks - I often need the name somewhere else (search, file-rename, etc.), and now it's Edit - Long-press to select a word - Select All from the popup menu - Copy from popup menu, very tedious.

It was once considered to show the frequently used folders at the top when moving tracks (3 or 4 pieces) Favorites were also under discussion but wanted there rather the frequently used.

Apart from that, I'm really happy and it's much easier to work with than before.
2 small things
Possibly enlarge your own symbols.
Style is currently only global and could be set per folder.
