How to get point+track visibility state from before migration to new My Library?
Answered
I heavily used point+track visibility state, for example, telling aparts TODOs from DONE. After migration to new My Library, all points+tracks are hidden. How can I get back the visibility state from before?
The same question
I don't think that will work anymore. You could use a second phone and install the old version. And then load an old backup. The rest is just manual work.

I doubt (pure hope?😉) that's the way to go 🙂 The v4.28 announcement tells Before this process, the application will automatically perform a backup to eliminate the risk of data loss which would be mostly useless if no restore was possible on that device. Moreover, knowingly deleting hundreds of data points and requiring to manually re-create them using a 2nd phone (where to get it from?) is so much user un-friendly, I doubt Locus team would do so without asking for consent before.

Hi Georg,
sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for reporting it. We somehow ignored the data visibility status during the data migration. The bug has been fixed and will come into effect in the next app version so other users will be able to maintain their data visibility status also after the migration.

Hi Michal,
thank you for quick anaysis, fix of migration and reply 🙂
That's good news for all users doing migration in the future!
How can I trigger that Locus does again migrate based on the back up? Simply call restore from backup in settings? BTW, I am aware that this will lose all stuff that I changed since the backup, so to keep that, some steps are required, see https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/36964-new-library-quick-new-point-created-in-wrong-folder#comment-148451

I did this step on my 2nd phone. Made a backup to be on the safe side. Uninstalled Locus. Installed old Locus version 4.27. Backup installed before the backup. And then installed the new one. Then backup and restore the backup on the 1st phone. Since I export all recorded tracks. I added them again.

@freischneider: Thank you for sharing your experience & way.
@Michal: Is there also a way on one phone? Hopefully without uninstallation & reinstallation? 🙂
