Exporting tracks -> process unsuccessful
Not a Problem
Hi,
these days I tried to export tracks from Locus. I've chosen the same directory as I use for Locus Backup, located on the external SD-Card.
When I press "Export" a small popup displays with "process unsuccessful" but without further details. As auto backup works with this directory, I don't think that it's a permission problem.
Exporting into a directory located on internal memory works.
What can I do to troubleshoot this problem and get the export working into the same directory as the auto backup uses?
Thank you,
Andreas
The same problem 
Good day Andreas,
it currently is a permission problem. Better ... support for export to SD card is not yet (after all these years, sorry) implemented in Locus Map. If you setup backup directory in app settings, by this you confirm and give Locus Map permission to write to this directory. This is not yet done for many other tasks like export of tracks.
So for now, please use internal memory or any supported cloud storage. Thanks for understanding.

Hello Menion,
during my bicycle tours I use my Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 6) for navigating and for recording the track. Due to its poor capacity of internal storage (only 16 GB) I changed the main directory of Locus to the predefined folder on the external SD card (64 GB), i.e.
/storage/<SD-ID>/Android/data/menion.android.locus.pro/files
Even then the export is refused with "process unsuccesfull". The export of the ,gpx to a supported cloud storage or sharing with email or a messenger is a solution, but as I have no SIM card in my S5, I cannot export without WiFi.
Do you mind if I make a feature request for enabling the export of tracks to the SD card?

Interesting, I was quite sure that such an idea already exists, but can't find it now.
Anyway:
It is anyway little weird that with Locus Map stored in the mentioned path, export does not work. You set Locus Map to this directory over settings > misc > Default directories > Set root directory?
