GPX-Export contains invalid character

Ingo Rau shared this problem 10 years ago
Solved

The GPX-export has a problem with "&" - it's not escaped correctly as HTML-entity.

I had this case because one of my ZIP files with icons has a name with a "&" ("Entertainment & Culture.zip"). Now Locus writes a reference to an icon in a GPX-tag called <extension><icon>, but the file name has the literal "&" instead of "&". This makes every GPX reading program I tried stumble.

Hello Ingo,


you are probably talking about <locus:icon> extension, right? You are correct, this tag was not escaped. So I've just fixed this problem. Thanks for report!
