Mass edit points

elmuSSo shared this idea 11 years ago
Completed

Tell me if this function already exist, but I didn`t find it. I would like to mark a few/lot of point and change their icon with one command. If the user can filter points by the icon, why there is no way to change the icons of all marked points? Or is it?

no it isn`t. Usually points are grouped in categories and this category define icon for points. So if you change icon for category, it will also change icon for points (that don`t have own defined icon). Anyway that what you want is not currently possible

mhm. the problem is, I have one big category, and several subcategories in it. eg touristic - castles, touristic - lakes, touristic - museums. I dont want to make for them a separate categories, because there is lot of them. So I just want to mark all eg. castles and change their icon, so then I will utilise the possibility of filtering by icon.

understand, I also agree that this is useful feature


anyway I was trying to implement it for almost three hours, and ended little bit depressed. So I`ll add it but number features here on GetSatisfaction and lack of time to solve and think about most of them leads me to completely stop making new features and just solving bugs and improving current for some time ...


So, I`ll work on it, because it`s part of improving "Points manager" screen, but it will take some time, because I just started merging some libraries and refractoring big part of code so it will take few weeks till Locus will be again usable :)

In the days when we have KMLs and Items visibility there is a big need of having a better point management system. What if I created 100 points, and now I want to edit their icons? I cant do that manually... I would like to change also their names to: Shop 1, Shop 2, Shop 3 ...

This idea comes from my previous question “Various icons in the category”.

The task is to merge two POI categories with different icons and keep original icons.

Behavior of POI icons I noticed is like that:

- If POI has no defined icon then it inherits icon of category. After moving POI to another category, it changes icon according to the new category.

- If POI has defined icon then the icon can be different from category icon. After moving POI to another category, its icon is not changed.

Therefore if I want to merge two POI categories and keep original icons, then I have to define icon of each POI which is not suitable if the category has several hundreds of POIs.

I suggest new feature that would allow setting icon on multiple POIs (open category –> select some POIs –> tap Tools –> tap option labeled e.g. “Set icon” or “Edit”).

I think this feature is logical and easy to implement... thanks :)

Hi Lupus,


I merged your topic to this one from elmuSSo. I may only agree that some "mass edit" of points is needed. For my surprise, there are together with you only three votes, so as I see, it`s not too important for many people. Anyway time of this, will for sure come ;)

If you decide to implement this idea it should also include setting POI icon when importing new POIs to existing category.
