Enhanced selecting/filtering/sorting of geocaches - by favorite points
Completed
I can sort the caches by GCVote. But GCVote is seldom used by cachers
and it seems to me that the cahcers mostly award the cache by adding it to Favorites.
Would it be possible to display this information and let the list be sorted according
to this number?
I like this idea 
The whole favorite points system is shitty as long as you can`t download them with pocket queries. If you are only handling a hundred caches in Locus the Favpoint system seams manageable. But even in this case sorting by favpoints doesn`t make much sense if the number of favpoints is not calculated against the number of founds. I`ll stick to GCVote!

Well, I do not agree.
First of all I am not proposing to replace GCVote, I am trying to add a Favorties Count as well.
I do not really care if favorite points can or can not be downloaded via Pocket Queries. They can be downloaded to Locus directly and this is fine for me.
Also calculating favopoints versus number of founds is not that interesting
and GCVote does not have the ratio as well.
I just believe that Favorite Points are use more often the GCVote and I would
like to able able to sort according to it.

Hi guys (chrabros mainly ;) )
support for a favorite points is already in Locus!!
there is anyway one big problem. Locus currently support only downloading caches with pocket queries as nIgel wrote. And for unknown reason, groundspeak do not include favorites counts into GPX, so they`re not available to Locus directly
anyway if you download caches by Geocaching4Locus add-on, favorites will be then visible in Locus.
Currently Groundspeak do not offer any API feature like "give me fav points for these caches". You can receive it only when you donwload complete cache, which Locus currently do not do
So here is how it looks now. To get favorite values into Locus, you have to use G4L add-on, or export from GSAK/GeoGet or any other program that will also contain favorite counts

Hi, this is nice, but I cannot see it in my version 2.12.2
Is the version with this released already?
Or is the feature avilable only when the GC in database have Favorites?
(I use G4L, so it should be there, but maybe not for all of them).

I did it few minutes ago, so you have to wait on next version :)
