EDIT: import from yesterdays backup solved the problem..

but this cannot be the solution to the problem

EDIT2:

i miss my mapitems, aren´t they part of a full backup ??

Hi guys,

what exactly is the problem? You both used the new option to move the app main directory into the app private folder and it does not work? After restart, you miss any data? Did you checked if app really selected new directory as the default app directory. And balloni55 no, "mapItems" never was part of the backup system.

Hello menion

# After restart, you miss any data?

Yes,

sorry in my first post i wrote "with content" it should be without content

#Did you checked if app really selected new directory as the default app directory

see screenshot

#"mapItems" never was part of the backup system

thanks, i didn´t know or forget

Hi guys,

sorry for the delay in my answer. I was waiting if some more people will report the same issue or anyone in the team, but no other reported problems with the automatic transfer of directories between selected directories.

Application firstly copies data to a new directory and once it is all correctly done, it changes the app default directory and deletes the original directory. So I can't imagine, how the problem with missing directories may happen!

balloni55, you solved your issue thanks to the backup right? David, what about you? Were you able to locate the old directory, does it contain old tracks (in Locus/data/database/tracks.db file) and presets (in Locus/data/presets)?

Hello menion

# I was waiting if some more people will report the same...

I think there are only a few users so far who have switched to the private folder.

# you solved your issue thanks to the backup right?

everything that the backup offers could be written back in this way.

I had to manually copy the following data from the old path that still exist

- custom screens

- mapithems

- geocaching

- photo_poi

Hi guys,

during last maybe three weeks, we are (finally) intensively working on new version of the "tranfer" system so I believe, in the next public version it will be perfectly reliable and fully functional. Because of this, it is not necessary to discuss if the system you used had any problems or now.

In case of balloni55, I'm sure all was solved by your own on your side.

David, what about you? Is everything working as expected for now or is there anyway I may help with? Please let me know.

Hi all,

I am having the same issue, every time I open LM4 I get a the following message:

Problem with the custom folder for 'mapsVector/'

Since update to the new android ver I kept having issues with folders. All previously offline maps are gone.

App couldn't suddently write on previous folder therefore have to change folder settings but I think something went wrong or I did some mistake. LM4 use to be on my external card but have to move it to the internal phone memory. Should I move it to the external sd card again? btw is using almost 1,7 gb

Anyone knows of a tutorial to handle this folders issue?

Thank you

Piero
