Filter by not found is not working

Not a Problem

Filter by not found is not working, inverting filter by found is not working either. I've caches locally marked as not found

Or maybe that's how that filter is supposed to work, but it would be nice to be able to filter all caches logged as not found, to keep track of updates on those caches

I wanted to filter by caches that I've already been there and made a DNF log on them and have the log stored locally.

Hi guys,

this is quite interesting "problem". Positive filter for "Found it" is logical right? It just filter all caches you have marked in Locus as found. So what about this problem - negative "Found it".

What you expect that this settings will do?

A) display all caches that are not marked as "Found it"

B) display all caches that are marked as "Not found"

Truth is, that you may filter all caches that are not marked as "Found it", by positive, but inverted! filter. Option B is currently not possible.

What you think, balloni (as master geocacher) and other geocaching fanatics? :)

I was interested in option B, but I understand it could only work with logs stored locally. Currently, if I want to check for updates on my not found geocaches (new logs I have to scroll down looking for them in the list or download all my logs from groundspeak and find the not found logs.

@ Venereo, you didn´t log your DNF´s online?

so one solution for now if your are a PM, create a bookmark list in your GC account, add each DNF cache to this list, so you can build a PQ from this list how often you want.

@ menion,

- you have no option to search for the blue smily = DNF inside POI folder ?

if not, my ideas:

1. add blue smily with checkbox, independent to cachetyp, to SYMBOL section so that user can chose it.

BTW: Tradi icon is far away from value 0/3 checkbox, see screenshot

or, if DNF´s are online logged

2. create an optional checkbox in dialog of online log "update cache after online log"

so you are able to search after GC-nickname and DNF log

I log them online yes, but not live. I store them and later upload with fieldnotes add-on. I think this kind of filter would only work with logs stored locally because I think there's a limit to the number of logs locus download, and if DNF log is too old it wouldn't show up. So filtering locally marked DNF caches would be enough

And thanks for your workaround, didn't knew that was possible to make pocket queries from lists

Hmm I think that you (balloni) mix two things. One is "type of cache" - like traditional etc. Second is "state" of cache, like "found", "dnf" etc. So you wrote "Tradi icon is far away from value 0/3 checkbox, see screenshot" - but! it is probably correctly. Two caches are marked as found and one as DNF but it has nothing to do with it's type! And "type" is filtered in filter.

This is partially answer on your idea - adding extra icon for "DNF" is not logical, because you now have there three "types" and you wants to add there icon for one "state". Probably confusing is a small blue title "SYMBOL". which is not precise in case of geocaches :/.

I think we may close this - no, it is not simply possible to filter caches for DNF. I may suggest to vote for old existing topic here: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/geocaching-filter
