Hello everyone!



I finally found the fix! It was indeed the Samsung's in-house "Storage Booster" app and I needed to uncheck "Auto optimise phone" and uncheck "Auto delete unnecessary data" - the latter including auto deleting log files, cache files (and probably deleting all the kml/gpx and orux db files - which are my most prized possessions!). And since it was a new phone, it had these two options checked and this auto deleting process was scheduled overnight when the phone was not in use. Thanks to one late night when I was up on my phone and caught this process happening while I was doing something else. Gosh, took me several days to finally figure it out but I am so glad it all worked out. It never happened with my old phone, and I hope it helps others in case they face the same problem in the future.



Happy hiking/birding/tracking/biking! Happy Orux-ing! Love to OruxMaps!!



Cheers!

Hello Orux team,



I love your app and have been using it for hiking since 2013. I recently changed my phone to Samsung M30s (Android 9) and copied my entire Tracklogs databases folder as it is after installing the app (Oruxmaps 6.5.10) - have done this several times whenever I changed my phone - but, this time, something unusual is happening. Everyday my Tracklogs folder's contents are getting deleted (lots of kml/gpx files) and over-written with a new db file which has no tracks/waypoints which is totally brand new. I don't know what to do and I'm very stressed. Please help! I can't keep copying my old folder everyday. Luckily, I haven't been outdoors yet, but have to be soon and I want to be using my old Oruxmaps as I was always used to. Can someone tell me what to do? I have no cleaner apps on my phone but have Samsung's Storage Booster app but I doubt that can change the contents of the Tracklogs folder. Any help received will be greatly appreciated.



Best,

Pooh

Hello!



I'm a big fan of Oruxmaps & using it for the past three years for logging my hiking and bird-watching activities in the Himalaya mountains. Trouble is when I open an old track segment saved and click on "Add to route" only its Waypoints appear i.e. Start Point waypoint & Finish Point waypoint, the entire track (the red line on the map) does not appear. I exported KML/GPX files to Google Earth as well and that too does not show the red marked line for the entire track, just the waypoints. How do I get the red line to appear? Can someone please help me?



Thanks a tonne for reading.
