new beta 7.1.7betaX [closed]

[6745th@web.de]

the semitransparent buttons/dashboard are really nice.

I like it.

Do you talk about all maps formats, or only with mapsforge maps? The change in mapsforge is that in version 7.x the construction of tiles is multithread, and in version 6.5 it was a single thread. That's why you see that the tiles are drawn in spiral in version 6.5. I do not know if you include other options, such as drawing shadows, ... but that may also affect performance in multithreading mode.

No, at the moment I'm only using mbtiles (no multimap, hillshading or other fancy stuff).



By the way it comes to mind that sometimes after updating I see random tiles missing here and there. Clearing the caches from the preferences always solved the problem. In theory it shouldn't be related because it's offline maps and I don't expect them to be cached. However I notice that the first time I visualize a certain area it is slower then when I go there again after a while, so maybe you are caching offline maps too? Or is it some Android filesystem cache?

I also see now that an old bug come up again. When in immersive mode opening a menu on the action bar causes the Andorid soft buttons to show, like in 6.5

settings-->user interface-->colors



uncheck "Dashboard colors"

Dashboard  background colors to "customized"

set "custom Background " to a transparent color



correct?

Perdonad mi torpeza, pero no se como poner transparente el color de fondo en los botones laterales.



Gracias

Hello;



mbtiles are still single thread, and loaded in spiral.



There are two level of caches.

1.-in memory, small, for all kind of maps.

2.-in file system, large, for online maps, and vectorial maps (mapsforge & img). Not for mbtiles. May be android sqlite engine has a cache, and recent access are faster.



I receive strange sqlite problems after updating, may be this is the problem with missing tiles.

Hi, about 7.1.7beta9 transparent mode.



after i understood how to set transparent dashboard/buttons in (settings-->user interface-->colors) with that horizontal glider, i played around and i really like it.



One thing i noticed: only normal buttons appear  transparent, large buttons do not appear transparent (settings-->user interface-->buttons-->large buttons mode). And when GPS tracking is on, this small icon appearing on top left, is also not transparent, maybe this is intended...

I tested again mbtiles after reinstalling 7.x Donate and beta on the tablet since I had removed them. On the phone I always had 6.5 from website, Donate from the Playstore and beta.

On the tablet moving to an area that I had not visualized before I actually see the spiral pattern. When zooming in and out in the same area half of the times I don't see the spiral but rather most of the screen drawn at a single time, without lags, so it's probably from the cache. Behavior is consistent across versions, except 6.5 is much faster at start. Once loaded speeds are similar

On the phone 6.5 has a similar behavior to the tabled, it' just faster (normal, the device is faster), panning is totally fluid and fast. 7.x (beta and donate) are very strange. If I move to an area that I had not visualized before I clearly see the spiral pattern. After a few zooms in and out I get the same behavior of the tablet, but with a lag between the moment I release the fingers and the moment the map start drawing. It's a few tenths of second but it's noticeable. Panning is even worse. In general the behavior is like when zooming, but I get an additional jump when I lift the finger while still moving. The map starts redrawing, than it moves a couple of millimiters further and it finishes the redraw. I'd question the device, but since 6.5 runs fine I think some minor detail must have changed.



About Spatialite. I never tried the feature before so I gave it a go. Personally I find it very difficult to use, selectiong a category

from the list is uncomfortable at best. The list is too huge. Making the checkboxes default to "on" woulbd be a big improvement. Also it

seems that thicking one macrocategory doesn't actually tick subcategories. I know queries are expensive, but scrolling and selectiong

categories is too.

Then I don't see why Spatialite is necessary for this kind of search: it looks like you search a name and you get coordinates, but those can be stored in a plain sqlite database, no? I'd understand if we could set a search radius or geofence, but we can't. What am I missing?

I'd also like to have this search function available for other maps, as far as I understand POIs and map files are not related.



Dashboard, buttons and theme. In beta 9 the missing border between controls is now ok when using solid colors but disappear when using the transparent dashboard. I still see the Android bottom bar popping up when opening a menu, pretty annoying... 6.5 did it too, but I'm rather sure that at some point it was fixed. Also the dashboard gets closed when swiping up to reveal Android buttons, this one is fossil and pretty annoying as well. In current Donate version buttons inherit color from app theme, in beta they inherit it from the dashboard. Of course I liked light buttons and dark dashboard... :-)

Preferences are now a nightmare. When you change the "custom dashboard/buttons background" (which BTW is too long to fit on screen) nothing happens because you also have to select "customized" from the preference above. As a minimum the setting should be grayed out when not used; or, always use the color picker and forget about light/dark preference. And you can also select white text on light background, or black on dark, which is totally invisible. And to add confusion you can always bypass all of this and tie the dashboard theme to the app theme via a checkbox... Why not replace the whole thing with just three settings?

• App theme: light, dark, red

• Buttons theme: light, dark, transparent dark, transparent light

• Dashboard theme: light, dark, transparent dark, transparent light

Fast, easy and should cover everyone needs without conflicts and confusing nested preferences.

In any case dashboard background "clear" should be "light", "clear" usually means "transparent".

Buenos días, usamos esta aplicación desde el principio de los tiempos para cargar 4 kmz a la vez para poder seguirlos, uno de ida, otro de vuelta y los otros 2 son waypoints de cada uno de los sentidos de la ruta.

Nos gustaría comentarte la posibilidad de realizar alguna mejora que nos parece interesante:

- Poder salir de la aplicación y al volver iniciar, que orux guardase las 4 últimas rutas que fueron cargadas, en nuestro caso son 4 pero si alguien cargar más cerrarlas todas, y no únicamente la última cargada de las 4. Algo como poner un botón que muestra "Dejar rutas que se cargaron por última vez" y así mostrar todas las que se cargaron en un principio.

- Nos parece interesante a colación de lo de antes, realizar lo contrario, quiero decir una opción que indicase "Al salir de la aplicación, borrar rutas cargadas" porque puede que a alguien le resulte molesto tener que borrarla siempre que entre a la aplicación.

- Por último nos gustaría poder cambiar el color de las 4 rutas cargadas y no que ponga en la ruta primaria el color indicado y en el resto el color por defecto, ya que hay veces que no se distingue la ruta de sentido ida con la de vuelta.

Gracias por todo el trabajo realizado durante todos estos años, esta aplicación es un 10 que nos ha salvado de más de un apuro a los conductores de autobús.

Hi Orux,



the "Center map dialog" function with all type coordinates (degrees, utm, swiss grid, mgrs,...) doesn't work for me with the latest beta. When I chose "point" the app crashes. Can you please fix that?



Thanks in Advance!

Hi orux,

There is a bug affecting this beta: the length,altitude,time etc of the tracks in the tracks list reflects the last segment statistics instead of the complete track!

Hola;



prueba la última beta; añadida opción para mantener rutas cargadas/borrarlas en la configuración.



lo del color es más complicado; es difícil añadir color a muchas rutas a parte de la activa...

Hi Orux,

now OM can export fit files very well.



I was wondering why OM cant imprt fit and tcx Files.



Today i tried: "Import new Track" -> "GPX/KML" and selected a fit File. and it works!  :lol:  :lol:

Next test seleting a tcx: File and that worked also.



Wouldn't it be better to to rename that Item?

Instead

"GPX/KML"



"GPX/KML/TCX/FIT"

or

"Supported File Formats"



Thanks,

Thomas
