Names of maps are sometimes getting the same name, despite different file name

PROBLEM:


Sometimes, two maps with the different file name, have the same name in Locus.


EXAMPLE:


I have these maps in Locus/maps folder:


Radom.Ruski42.sqlitedb


Radom.39-51.sqlitedb


Radom.1943.AerialPhoto.v09.sqlitedb


Radom.Compass.UTM34.sqlitedb


Radom.M-34-019-3.S.sqlitedb


Radom.M-34-19-c.N.sqlitedb


but instead of seeing their full names (with ".sqlitedb" cut off) I can see:


Radom


Radom


Radom.1943.AerialPhoto


Radom.Compass


Radom.M-34-019-3


Radom.M-34-19-c


It looks like Locus is cutting off the last (.*.) part. Which is crucial for distinguishing between different maps.


PS. Small question, is there any way to add additional information to .sqlitedb file, which will be showed in the "Information/Overview" screen for a map? It would be cool to add some copyright info, or a special icon or thumbnail ( which will be showed under "Overview" section)

I may confirm this. It`s directly implemented in this way so it`s not a bug.


In times I created this "map manager", some maps I used for testing had two endings, like x.osm.sqlite, so I was removing both.


It`s not a problem to remove this, question is just how many people will write after next update - "hey, now I see ... " ... etc. you know :)


so "fixed", or better "changed"


about extra data in database - yes this should be useful. Currently locus use info table in database where are additional data included, so it`s not a big problem, to add there some extra fields ...


maybe insert metadata table as has MBTiles https://github.com/mapbox/mbtiles-spe... where is not needed to add extra columns, because all is much clever in just key/value table
