Starttime of recorded tracks

Ulrich Herrmann shared this problem 5 months ago
Not a Problem

When a track is recorded, the creation-time is saved at properties. In many cases the creation time is the same as the start-time. But there are cases where it is not.

When a track has been splitted, the second part has the same time-stamp as the first part.

When two tracks have been joined, the current date/time is used, and there is no way to see when the track really has started.

What I need is always the start-time, the creation-time has no relevance for me. The start-time may easily derived from the time-stamp of the firs track-point.

So please make it possible to see the start-time in the properties of the track, and also in the sorting. Currently, sorting is a mess after some splits or joins of tracks, when I only can use the creation-time.

Hi Ulrich,

Locus Map should work as you described. If not, could you please share the tracks from your database for a test? Thanks

Sorry, please re-open the topic. I voted in favour because this IS actually a problem:

Nobody has to send you tracks to reproduce this. Just take any two recorded tracks. Both of course have a start date and a start time. When the two tracks are merged, the new merged track has the current date and time. I think it would also make more sense to keep the start date/time of the first track.

Example: I have merged two tacks from the year 2021. The new merged track now has the start date of today and the current time. However, Ulrich and I would also like to see the original start time from 2021.

I've taken two tracks recorded on 23/3 and 24/3 2023 and merged them. The resulting track has the earlier date 23/3/2023. Where is the problem?

Thanks, you're right, I had mixed it up with the date/time in the track name, which I generate automatically when saving. This can of course be edited.

I was concerned with the sorting in the folder, and yes, it is based on the correctly created track data as you have marked it. And that's right, the date and time of the first track are taken over. Sorry for the confusion.
