Merging two tracks uses only one color

Hi,

in some cases I have multiple tracks related to some hiking activity: the first track is the main hiking path, the others are small deviation to shorten walk or to reach a particular point.

My main path is e.g. blue, the others are e.g. red.

When I merge paths from library, the resulting track has only one color which makes reading them on maps more difficult.

I see that multiple tracks are still stored separately and exported as different <trkseg> in gpx files.

It will be nice to retain original color because this allows reducing the number of routes stored in the library. And also make simpler to search them.

thanks,

Yuri

Hi Yuri,

app internally works with this merged track, really like with one single track. Split to <trkseg> is made really simply, just by remembering at which index it should break. So storing multiple styles for a single track should bring a huge complexity to the whole system. Sorry.
