[3.13.0] Problems with tracks : existing dB wiped and (+) button not working
Solved
Hi guys
I have just updated to 3.13.0 Pro on both my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" and my mini-S4.
On the tablet only, the track database as been wiped (message at startup saying that there was an attempt to close an already closed - see attached picture).
On both, the Add folder (+) button in the track section actually adds the folder in the points section.
Anything I need to provide you to help ?
Best regards

Good day Barbudor,
hope you have a backup of your database on tablet!! because it have probably nothing to do with latest update (after half of day after update, you are still only one with such problem). Anyway screenshot may also indicate, that your database is locked for some reason (maybe you updated Locus while it was still opened?). Suggest to restart your device, it may help.
About issue with creating track folders ... nice copy & paste error. Thanks guys, will be fixed in next version (probably tomorrow).

Hello Michael, second with same problem?? Damn. This is definitely nothing like problem on your side, such problem should never happen, no matter what you do.
@Michael, you see exactly same error as Barbudor after start? "Attempt to re-open already closed object"?
What is weird is what you wrote about visibility of content. Also suggest at least to restart device.
@Barbudor: may you please create for me a log right after you start and close Locus? Thanks

Yes, I did not take a look at the screenshot before, but i got the same error. There were Icons in front of the text I think and I had the option to reload the database or somewhat. I tried it, but I couldnt see any files in the directories.
When I tried to uninstall Locus pro, my tablet told me it was unable to delete some directory and asked if i want to do it by now. I did not want.
Finally I uninstalled Locus Pro and reinstalled it, now it starts normally but I am not able to install my own maps (external, although I bought also Locus Points, I did not want to spend it yet). POI Files and Tracks are also gone. Since my Tablet has no GSM card I need to have offline vector maps.

GPS seems also not to work???
Permission Problem?

Salut! I found out that I can activate GPS and File System Access through the Android 6.0 permission settings. It seems to be set off by default. But I cannot access the default map folder through locus. By now Ih have one Vector Map installed, This is sufficient for the moment. Maybe to manage to find a solution.

Hi Menion,
I do have a Locus backup running everyday night at 23:00 with 10 day retention + weekly upload to Dropbox.
The backup from Saturday restore fines but backups from Sunday, Monday & Tuesday crashes as said above. Rebooting the unit doesn't make a change.
==> Clearly the problem didn't occured during the update on Wednesday. DB was corrupted before.
Still I can't see why the database got corrupted between Sunday afternoon when Locus was working fine (recorded tracks, then exported to Dropbox & Strava) and Sunday night when before the backup was done...
I tried to follow your guidelines to create a log but unfortunately, I don't seem to have the "take bug report" entry in the "Developper options" (Android 4.1.2). I tried LogCat but seems it that it can't do its job when the device is not rooted.
I now have been able to restore a decent configuration by tweaking the Sunday backup file in which I replaced the tracks.db and .mVisibleItems_dbTracks files with the ones from Saturday backup.
Little trick allowed me to restore 99.9% of my data and I'll get the missing Sunday track from my Dropbox
In 3 years, this is the 2nd time I get an unexplained corruption of the database. I wouldn't say this is big. Annoying of course when it occurs but still Locus is a great software in features and reliability.
From my point of view, the DB corruption part is closed.
Just let's wait for the fix on the track folder (+) button [:)]
Thanks a lot.

Hi Menion
Thank you for looking into this.
I'm about to send you by email the backup file reduced to points & tracks.
Best regards

(don't read this on Sunday)
Just to let you know that the database corruption issue occured again this night.
I've been able to restore my tracks from the backup of last night at 23:11 which means the problem occured during the night while Locus was off (and myself sleeping).
My tablet is probably haunted by leprechaum/gremlin or other forms of underground being which I may have offensed in some way.
I'll monitor this and let you know if this ever happens again.
