How to Import entire folder of GPX/KML tracks into Locusmap (Pro) Tracks Folder

blahdi shared this question ago

Answered

I am a long term Fan and User of Locusmap Pro.

I want to import multiple tracks from folder (either dropbox or local folder) into a folder in Tracks/Routes LocusMaps. Unfortunately, I have to select every file to import it which is pain because there are 100+ tracks. Instead, , I want to import the entire folder of 100+ tracks (some way to select all files in the folder). Ideally, rather than import the entire folder, I want to sync all tracks from the folder.

Is this possible?

Currently, I use dropsync app to sync from dropbox to Mapitems folder, and then can see all the tracks in mapitems. However, mapitems folder cannot be sorted by distance or filtered by name, and its a pain to find the right track when u are at the trailhead. Hence I want to import these files into Tracks/Routes folder of locusmaps.

It worked perfectly - thank u Michal!.

Dropbox has a option to download zip file of a folder using browser, and then I imported zip it into 2 folders (1 for tracks and 1 for points). Takes a while to import since there are lot of tracks, but I should be able to speed it up significantly by creating separate folder for new items and import just those few!.
