POI alert: Disable for found caches
Declined
Hi there.
I've recently used this great tool and I loved it. It helps a lot when doing trails or series of geocaches.
Still, I would like to suggest one thing: would it be possible to disable the sound for found caches? (or add an option to do it)
Regards.
I like this idea 
Good day,
we would like to keep list of options as simple as possible. Isn't in this case a lot easier just hide already found caches? I may also suggest little "automatization tool", that may removing of found caches from the map speed up a lot. Check this: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:geocaching:settings#action_after_found_it .
Let me know if it helps and if it cover your needs.

What happens is that when I activate POI alert and find a cache, I go back to the mapa dn the POI alert is activated for that same point, i.e. the cache that I've just found, which doesn't make send. It would be much easier if there was an option to disable it for found caches.
Anyway, that "Action after Found It" may be helpful and I'll use it as a workaround for this. Thank you for the hint!

separate folder for found. Found automatically move there. POI alert only for folders with open (not found)

Also good tip freischneider, thanks.
Most logical should really be to a) automatically excluded found caches ( not obvious for user why this happen ) or b) add option as wanted by this idea ( makes UI more and more complicated ).
Because we have here two nice workarounds for this problem ( both involve "Action after found it" settings ), I believe this has a nice solution and improving POI alert itself is not necessary. Thanks for understanding.

By the way, this also happens for DNF logs. If I mark a DNF, the POI alert will bip again after making the log. So this is not only a problem with found logs.
Anyway, I'll stick to the first workaround, since I don't intend (for now) to create another folder for points.
