Why is a track point only fully editable after recording ended?
Answered
Why is a track point - except for it's attachments - only editable after recording ended? When I'm hiking, entered a point name (e.g. some info for OSM mapping) and some 10 minutes later see that I shall change the name, I would like to do it instantly (e.g. where I can see a sign or path or whatever) and not 6 hours later when I finished the hike & stopped recording - I won't be able to remember all the changes I shall do.
Current workaround in v3.0.2 is to record audio "ignore the point name, it's wrong and shall be xyz", and after stopping recording, going through all recordings in /Locus/data/media/audio and change the names as given in the audio recording.

This is currently because of another optimizations that is done for track recording.
Track points and also a waypoints aren't during track directly stored in database! Instead they are buffered in memory and usually around once per minute flushed on card as a file (only a difference compare to previous flush).
Because of this, Locus has no direct access to already "flushed" waypoints so it's little bit complicated for now.
If you really need this, you may create new "Idea" for this, but because of a lot of additional work, I'm not currently huge fan of this idea :), sorry.

Thank you for explaining :) Current behavior is OK for me, I need to change point names only seldomly and then I've a workaround.

When I hike, I make many track photo points. If ever possible to change this...I'd really appreciate being able to rename track points and being able to delete track points WHILE I'm recording...so I can make the changes that I think best in the moment, rather than once I'm done recording. If possible now, please let me know how. Thanks!

Hello Kevin, unfortunately this is not and won't be in future possible. To make this possible, whole system around storing a track during recording should be changed, which is something we really do not wants to do, sorry.
