Track and POI naming improvements

1. Saving track dialog.


When I want to save the Track, this dialog is being opened:


The name is already filled - thats cool. The problem is: to put my own name of this track ( which im always doing), I need to click on the text and delete it. It cost me 2-7 seconds. Sometimes I will not hit the right place in the editbox, sometimes the cursor will jump again to the beginning of the text, so I must click again after the last character. And then pressing backspace takes even a few seconds ( its sluggish in many situations). I can also Select Text and then Cut. This could be little bit faster, but it also needs a few steps to delete the text. So why not to implement this editbox in the way, that the text will be already marked like this:


With this scenario you can just click OK to accept the default name, or you can start writing your own track name instantly, without need to delete the default name. It will really saves a lot of time and stress (saving the track is always at the critical moment of getting out of the car)


2. Adding new Point dialog


When Im creating a new point, the Name field is empty. I want to quickly add a point with the default name. Default name should be similar to the default name of the Track name - with some basic information ( time, position ). And this point name should be also already marked and ready for pressing OK or to be edited quickly.

agree that this helps to quickly change "not wanted" name. In case you`ll just want to edit current text it will be one more click compare to current system, anyway it`s minor negative effect compare to positive ...


so implemented

Nice :-( but at least with my HOX and ICS I`m now ending up with selected text but NOT with activated on screen keyboard...therefore i have to set the focus into the Name box first, which consequently destroys the selection and im ending up as it was before :-(

I think that this behaves differently on different ROMs

This issue haunts me since the very beginning of my Locus adventure. Your tries to improve it work on some ROMs, but not on the others. A physical keyboard is also introducing another variable. It is just not consistent.


So I think I found a universal solution.


Add a small button on the right of the Name field. This button will just mark a text in this field.
