Iconpack problem

Hello,

I have made an own icon pack. It's works in Locus.

But somewhere I have an error. If I start Locus pro I get the message "file icon.zip not found".

If I looked at the list of my POI, I can see my own icons.

How or where can I find error and fix it ?


I know I have chance the name op the zip file.

I logged in here the first time for this exact same issue and it happened to be the very first post in the feed!


For me it happened when I added my own icon pack named Icons.zip and then later removed it. Then I added a zip file of icons named MyIcons.zip which are all available as custom icons now...


However every single time I start the app it flashes that "Cannot find Icons.zip" error at me.


Ive gone to the point of adding a zip file to the icons folder CALLED Icons.zip and STILL whenever I open the app I get an error message at the bottom saying "Can't find Icons.zip"


Can you guys fix this?

Hello,


I found the problem, it is not a problem of Locusmap.

I have read my POI file with a text editor , And see that I made a mistake. I have used two different icon packages.


<locus:icon>file:Icons.zip:fastfood_mcdonalds.png</locus:icon>
And


<locus:icon>file:Icon.zip:fastfood_mcdonalds.png</locus:icon>
You can see one file is Icons.zip and the other is Icon.zip (without s). I shall now check all of my file's.


EDIT: I can say the my problem is fixt..

I did check and my file names were not matching. I added an empty zip file into the icons folder named the same as what the error message was telling me it could not find.


That leads to another question. If a user adds a zip file full of icons and then removes it later, will it always trigger this message of "can't find FILENAME.zip"?

Are you looking the path in your gpx file too? If you pack names Icon.zip, then must (for example) the path in the gpx file <locus:icon>file:Icon.zip:fastfood_mcdonalds.png</locus:icon>

I think you know to exprt a list to a GPX file. So you have a GPX file


If you then open the GPX file with a text editor. You see your waypont in a list.

for example:


</wpt>

<wpt lat="47.267893" lon="13.496445">

<ele>1287.00</ele>

<time>2017-08-21T11:11:13.000Z</time>

<name>Pitstop</name>

<link href="http://www.garmin.com">

</link>

<sym>restaurant</sym>

<extensions>

<locus:icon>file:Icon.zip:restaurant.png</locus:icon>

</extensions>

</wpt>


The row with <locus:icon>file:Icon.zip:restaurant.png</locus:icon> must be right to your pack

(look at file:Icon.zip)


This was my problem.

Cool I'll try seeing if there are any links to that icon pack sitting in a gpx export of all my markers and go from there.
