Easier switch of the profile without recalculation

In the current version 4.31, if the routing profile is changed during route planning, the entire route planned up to that point is recalculated.

If you only want to continue planning with the changed profile (i.e. not recalculate everything), you must click on the 3-dot menu next to the profile name and select "Continue with".

In the meantime, there was an option to set this behaviour as the default. Unfortunately, this has been removed again, which I very much regret. When planning, I often switch to another profile (often "reroute" or "shortest", but also others) to create just one or more segments. Now I always have to click twice to do this.

It would be very desirable to offer this missing option "primary action: "Recalculate all" or "continue with" again. Gladly in the Expert settings.

During a planning phase, I usually only recalculate once or twice. But I switch profiles to bypass locks quite often. I also test from time to time whether it works with a different profile works. Das kann sehr oft sein. That's why this should be standard and not recalculated.

It has always been the case that recalculation required an extra action.

I don't want this to happen automatically.

I just want to switch profiles, not recalculate.

For now, I will only use the beta version where possible.

Das wurde schon mehrfach beklagt. In LM4 führt der Wechsel des Routingprofils zur Neuberechnung der gesamten Strecke im geänderten Profil.

Will man das früher normale Verhalten, dass nur der weitere Streckenteil mit dem geänderten Profil erstellt wird, muss man das 3-Punkte Menü neben dem Profil in der Liste anklicken und dann "Fortfahren mit" wählen.

inI der letzten Beta hatte Menion eine Option hinzugefügt, mit der man das Default-Verhalten bei Profilwechsel nach eigenen Vorlieben einstellen konnte ("alles neuberechnen" oder "fortfahren mit"). Leider wurde diese Option wieder entfernt, was nicht nur ich bedauere. Ich hoffe sehr, dass das nochmal überdacht wird.


Ich habe das im Helpdesk schon eingestellt. Du kannst hier mit abstimmen:

This seems like great opportunity to address all the issues already mentioned in https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38341-route-planner-usability#comment-154248

TL;DR: Yes, the current UX is not perfect, and the change to recalculate whole route upon profile switch should be a secondary action (ie. under the ⁝), while existing behaviour to only change the current profile for the NEXT segment should be the default. I understand different users can have different workflows and expectations, that's why this should be atogglable option (like with the "quick settings" toggle) so everyone can select which behaviour is primary for their purposed.

I know the issue comes from the fact that profile switcher is a menu - so one tap to confirm, but just allow the users to pick which behavior is directly on the menu item and which is under ⁝ and everyone should be happy (i hope!)
