Feature Request: Unify Waypoint Creation in Locus Map 4

Locus currently has three ways to create waypoints: through the track recording panel, the side panel, and Quick New Point. Each uses a different interface and offers different options.

I'd love to see these methods use a consistent waypoint creation interface with shared settings, including:

  • Customizable automatic naming (counters, date/time, etc.).
  • Ability to save to a point folder or the currently recording track.
  • Consistent access to description and comment fields.

I'm not suggesting fewer entry points. Those are useful. Rather, I'd like the underlying waypoint creation process and available options to be consistent regardless of how it's accessed.

The functionality already seems to exist in Locus; it's just distributed across separate interfaces.

For example, when recording canyon routes, I want to add waypoints directly to my track with automatically generated unique names, without changing to a different waypoint creation workflow.
