Allow override of imported BRouter file name
Declined
Data>Tracks>Items>file>Import
At present there are lots of useful settings: Points, Tracks, Advanced.
I would like to suggest 2 more:
- allow default BRouter file name to be changed
- persistent tickbox setting to delete the file after import
These 2 would save heaps of taps. Thanks.
I like this idea 
Good day Andrew,
you are probably talking about some system that offer BRouter to generate track that should be used for navigation, right?
To be true, I have never used this feature, I still do not understand how exactly it works and I see no reason to use it. So it will be really really hard to convince me to do here any improvements.
Anyway
- default BRouter name - why this? Also if there is created some file by BRouter, it's task of BRouter, not Locus
- delete file after import - why this? When BRouter create new file, it do not overwrite previous file?

MapItems tab has ... menu with Import, Info, Delete. A checkbox on import form would save this additional step. I don't think the idea is specific to BRouter, just my example. After import often no need to keep file in folder. And if i do multiple imports of BRouter GPX for comparison with different via points they all have the same file name and track name, so often have to rename. Simple idea I thought. No problem though, just more work everyday with route planning.

Good day Andrew,
- as I wrote before, name of file is not handled by Locus but by BRouter. So there is probably nothing I may do.
- deleting file after import is in my hands, anyway I can't remember that I ever needed such feature. Your use-case is really specific (often import of files with need to remove them) and in common situations, you sometimes may need to do this (delete after import), but I'm sure that fw click won't be a problem here.
So sorry, idea declined.
