Feature request: Export all button, direction arrow #221

bereld commented 5 months ago

Hi Thanks for the great app. I would like to suggest to add these features:

1 - Add "Export all tracklist" button (to gpx/kml) - There is an option to select specific tracks, but to export all, you need to scroll to the buttom of a long list and it's not very convenient. An option to filter by track type / date / name would be nice.

2 - In the "Direction" tile in "GPS FIX" tab, show an arrow of the direction (select in settings - text / arrow / both).

Thanks

Hi, The user's feedback are a fundamental base to develop a good open source application. Thus, first of all, thanks for your time.

About the first point unfortunately there is no plan to implement it. Anyway, there is a way to select a range of tracks on Tracklist, that can be used to select all the tracks: You can Select the first track (of the range you want to select) with a click, then long-click on the last one to select the whole range. If with the first click you select a track, the range will be selected; if with the first click you deselect a track, the range will be deselected. Maybe it could help, because it avoids the single selection of every items of a long list.

About the arrow we could add the possibility to use an arrow, but its heading would be referred to the top of the screen and not to the real heading of the space (unless we choose to use the compass sensor when is available). It would be ok for you to use the first approach?

Hi,

About the first point, I understand that it's not planned to be implemented. Anyway, I am familiar with the option you suggested, but it still requires to scroll to the bottom of the list to "long press" the last track. If you have a lot of tracks, it takes a while to get to the bottom.

About the second point, an arrow referred to the screen top is great. I think it's easier to get the general direction from looking at an arrow than from a text like SSW or ESE. I suggest to leave the option to the user to select between text / arrow / both.

Thanks again
