Library management - copying, moving folders and points like FILE MANAGER

Lukáš Hrdina shared this idea ago

Gathering feedback

When organizing the library of points and folders, there is no option to copy the Folder, it can only be moved. This only works for an individual point or route. This option is missing for folders. I would like to suggest that these copy, paste, move functions work like a classic file manager. The philosophy of having separate points and routes does not suit me very much. I have routes and points divided by states or zones. If it worked that way, I could have, for example, a folder FRANCE_Chamonix - tracks and important points. parking, available water, important points. This can then be exported at once and shared with friends. This is not possible now. You have to have two branches. Points and Tracks. In each, for example, have the same structure and then export individually. My suggestion in one sentence. Management of items in the library like a classic File manager. It does not matter whether the item is a point or a track.

I suggested this 6 months ago. I don't think you have much chance.

If you have the same topic, we can merge them. I was told that the more votes there are, the more they will deal with it. Send me link please.

@Menion had once said when working on My Libery that there would be a solution later: You can then share a folder with content as Premium. Everyone can then integrate this shared folder into their Locus. As it is shared via the server, it is then up-to-date for everyone else. Even if the creator adds something.

He did not say when this function would be available.

I don't think it has to be such a complicated solution for sharing in the cloud. It's enough if the app can have points and tracks in one folder, which can be exported at once and sent to someone by email, etc.

With my post I'm trying to make the app have this basic function in Library management. Copy, Paste folders, points and tracks.

@Lukáš Hrdina; Exporting and/or sharing a folder with tracks and points is possible.

I have a folder X with several tracks and points. I select the folder and share it with another person (activate "Export to a file").

The file (gpx) can then be imported into a desired folder, which can also be called X, for example. This then contains all these tracks and points.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

You're right. I tried it and it works. The only thing that doesn't work is copying the entire folder somewhere else. Just moving it. Thanks for the insight.

Are there 2 suggestions/ questions here? The current method of copy/ move is different to say Windows Explorer (file manager) copy/ cut/ paste. I think it is more intuitive, but it was rejected.
