In POI export screen, add ? icon for "description" as well
When exporting a POI folder as GPX, in the export screen there is an ? icon for GPX version 1.0 versus 1.1 that gives some helping users to choose the suiting choice.
I suggest to add a similar ? icon for "insert a formatted description" as well, as this simple checkmark has major consequences as I found out after checking it for some stupid reason: It adds a HTML table with most of the GPX WPT elements, e.g. point creation time, into the description of each point. If you later re-import the GPX into Locus, viewing the POI is fine, but when you edit it, you're seeing a lot of HTML source code and it's quite hard to find/extract the "real description". It's no workaround to export again with de-activated "insert a formatted description" and re-import, as the HTML persists - the creation time etc are just not added another time... The best workaround was to use search & replace in notepad++ but it took me around 30 minutes to get rid of all the HTML, because there are so many different variants in the HTML.
The text of the ? icon for "insert a formatted description" could be something like "Creates a HTML representation of each GPX element in its description. Not recommended if you plan to re-import or edit the GPX file."
I guess it's no big effort to add the icon & text, and I guess it can be used for POIs as well as for tracks.
Hello Georg,
agree, this settings is little bit "dangerous" and "complicated". Even if this is desribed in little bit outdated manual http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:data:export_screen , I'll add a short "hint" into Locus. Hope it will be useful to some users. Thanks

The ? icon exists in v3.1.3 - thank you, Menion! I guess much more people will use the icon than the manual.
