I decided to check how OruxMaps is used for field studies within the scientific community. To do it I went through Google Scolar and Scopus databases. So I collected a list of scientific and near-scientific papers that refer to OruxMaps. In some of them it's just briefly mentioned but in others it's highlighted in details. The most scientifically reliable article from this list is Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) habitat surveillance by android mobile devices in Guangzhou, China (2016), published in the authoritative journal Insects, one of the top world journals on this topic. Let's post other relevant papers in this thread, if you find them!

Hello. For me it's important to transfer OruxMaps settings between devices, so I decided to test this feature.

As I understood from the documentation, profile settings are stored in a file like oruxmaps/preferences/om2_com.orux.oruxmapsDonate_preferences.xml. I had two profiles: "Default" and "expedition".  I saved the above-mentioned file in an external storage. Then I reinstalled OruxMaps deleting the "oruxmaps" folder for the total cleaning. I run the app for first time, seeing the welcoming screen, so a new clean "oruxmaps" folder was created. Then I moved the "om2_com.orux.oruxmapsDonate_preferences.xml" file to the "oruxmaps/preferences" folder. I completely closed the app. Then I opened it and went to Profiles->Restore/Refresh button. I expected that after pressing that button I would see my backup'ed "Default" and "expedition" profiles. Instead of that I receive a message: Error restoring profiles!

Any ideas?

OruxMaps version from Google Play: 7.5.9GP
Platform: Android 6.0.1 MMB29M on Xiaomi Redmi 3S
Other info: OruxMaps is installed in the internal storage
