Never mind, I eventually figured it out.

I have a map in Oruxmaps format, with files OruxMapsImages.db and mapname.otrk2.xml
It is a simple single level raster map.
There is an area of the map I want to update, and I have a digital file of the updated area.
I want to get the tiles, edit the ones that have changed, and then put all the files back together again, replacing the files I have now.

So is there a way to export into all the component files and then combine them all again?
(I can edit the tiles using Photoshop, if I could only get to them.)

Thanks.

Sorry, yes I meant the bottom right.
So is there an intention to make it possible to remove it?
I set my phone up to show as much of the map as possible, so almost everything gets hidden. It would be really good to have some way to hide the red button.
Thank you.

Now I am using the Unified Interface I have a circular red button at bottom left right. It is there all the time.
v8.5.5 GP.
If I press it I get two smaller blue buttons, Load route/waypoints and Backtrack.
I don't need this red button, so please tell me how I can remove it?
I have looked through the settings and cannot see it.
Thank you.

Interesting, thanks.
I have many huge maps and their dem files in my own folders on the SD card, and OruxMaps configured to find them there.
I will need to know where to put them in the future.

I understand that soon our files should no longer be in the folder:
\oruxmaps (either on the phone or on the SD) as they have been in the past.
I have v8.5.5 GP.

Having looked at the folders on my phone I assume the files in the future will be either on the phone here:
This PC\Galaxy S8+\Phone\Android\data\com.orux.oruxmapsDonate
or on the SD here:
This PC\Galaxy S8+\Card\Android\data\com.orux.oruxmapsDonate

My question is this. If I move all my files now to the new locations (using my computer), will OruxMaps work? Or do we need to wait for a new release designed for the new locations?

Thank you both so much.
When I turned on the Unified Interface option in the Settings, initially the left menu didn't change.
But I added the padlock button, and it worked, the map moves again.
Later the left menu did change to the full version, and the option is there to lock the display.

I don't understand how the Lock display option could have turned itself on.

I'm guessing the new Unified Interface is what I should keep as the new standard?
Thanks again.

I can't find it.
I open the big menu that pulls out from the left.
If I click on Maps, it shows five rows below the word Maps:
Center map
Map mode
Map calibrator
Map datum
Night mode
There is no other option.

I also went into Settings/User interface/Buttons/Buttons bar, and there is no padlock icon anywhere, so I can't add it..

Do you have a different version? I am on version 8.5.5 GP which I believe is the current version.

If my version doesn't have the feature, how did it get turned on? Is there some other way to turn it off? What am I missing?

Thank you but I can't find it anywhere.
I go to the settings for Maps. I see nothing called Lock Display.
I also looked under Application, but can't see it there either.
Please can you describe exactly, perhaps tell me another option that is next to it.

There is an icon of a padlock in the status bar. I don't see this in the pdf manual for v8?
Is this a clue? What does it mean? How can I turn it off?

Something strange has happened on my Samsung S8+, with Oruxmaps v8.5.5 GP.
(I also have a Samsung S10e, same Oruxmaps settings, same v8.5.5 GP, and it still works perfectly.)
1. To drag the map I have to use 2 fingers. Dragging using one finger does nothing.
2. The left and right icons appear OK when I touch those areas. But the top row of icons will no longer appear.
Please suggest what could cause this?

Por simple curiosidad,para que quieres que no se vea?para mí opinión no estorba y da información útil.(con respecto.)

I have it set so all the buttons hide, the top row and the side columns. That way I see as much of the map as possible.
The only thing left blocking the map is the little status bar. I don't need it, and others do need it. So it would be nice to have an option so I can remove it.

An idea to avoid adding a new option would be to make it follow the same behaviour as the option for the top bar. That vanishes after 10 secs and can be brought back by touching near the top. The status bar could disappear and reappear in the same way.

I understand, one colour only.
But could you please make the circle a solid black circle? Then it would be easy to see it.

I can't find the setting to hide the program's little status bar that appears on the left above the left buttons and below the top buttons.
There are mentions of status bar but they always seem to be about the Android status bar. It would be helpful to change all references to that status bar to add the word Android everywhere.
I did find one mention of this problem from 2011 but there was complete confusion about which status bar he was asking about, and it never got resolved.
Just to make it absolutely clear I'm talking about the status bar described on pages 13-16 of the English manual for version 8.

Either the option to hide it is there and I can't see it, or it is missing because of the confusion about different status bars, or it exists but has been missed from the UI options section?

My version just auto updated and a little bug has arrived.
On the right toolbar there is a button to start recording.
It it used to be a solid red circle. Now the red has gone and there is just a black outline of the circle.
This makes it hard to see if the recording is on or off.
Thank you.
