hgt files only load if downloaded from Locus

Not a Problem

In Locus latest, the hgt files are only loaded if I download them from within Locus, as with the youtube video (add point, advanced, elevation, new, download...)


If I use offline downloaded hgt files from


http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/Co...


the files do not load. Upon clicking the point trick, Locus does not realise the file already exists and simply overwrites it.


It`s even more interesting that the files are binary equal, thus there cannot be any incompatibility between them.


Also, there is an empty .zipT file when I download from within Locus, I don`t know what that means.

Hi guys,


1. Locus works with all HGT files, not just downloaded over Locus. I`ve tested it now a lot and no problem at all. Are you files correctly uploaded to you device?


2. problem with hgt.zipT - confirmed. Fortunately it`s just not-deleted file after download. It has no usage and should be automatically deleted (which is not happen). I`ll fix it to next version

Hi Menion,


The files downloaded by Locus are actually the exact same files as I downloaded from:


http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/Co...


For some reason, Locus Pro does _not_ recognise files which are copied there by the user, only the ones which are downloaded by Locus.

Hmm, should work - and works here!


Do you have *.zip or *.hgt files in your srtm folder?

*.hgt actually I have them named exactly like the ones Locus download.

@Menion

did you restart locus after copy/rename of files?

@gynta: I`m checking code and there should not be any problem with "case sensitivity" - you have this problem?


@tommi: restart also should not be needed. Images are checked in moment, they`re needed


@zsolt: when your files has exactly same name and exactly same size, there there is even not possible to discover which file comes from locus and which not. If you have any HGT file that after placing into Locus/data/srtm directory not work, share it please with me and I`ll gladly check this file

Because of missing response from zsolt, I'm closing this topic as not a problem. Issue with incorrectly downloaded data files directly in Locus, was solved a long time ago.
