Hi

How to start Locus from Tasker with settings saved in ZIP file? (send parameter in "Luch App" Task?)

The ZIP file is created by manual-back-up-of-settings feature in Locus.


Is there ANY way to do it in Tasker?

Then it would be really powerfull way to start quickly Locus with any settings according to situation.


Regards

Andnet.

Good day,

Unfortunately this option is not currently available in Locus.

I also do not consider this as happy idea. Settings restored over backup overwrites many settings thank change over time and that are not easy to handle, like recording profiles, attached wms maps, information about downloaded items from Store, GC field notes and many many others.

Understand that you search for some alternative how to use something like "profiles" in Locus, but this is definitely not recommended way. Thank you for understanding.

hello

Thank you for the quick response.

If it is absolutely not recommended way, so what is the one recommended for quick switching of several settings? :-)


I hope you agree how anxious is to have "profiles" for settings management :-)


I wish all of you further successful developments!

Hello Andet,


well, here comes THE PROBLEM. There is currently no recommended way. I'm well aware that some more quick change of settings is needed, but for now, it wasn't on top of priority lists.


I may currently only suggest to vote here: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/add-different-profiles-for-settings , so you'll be notified when something around this topic change.
