Add option to read time from filename

[el-tiuri]

Hey, first of all very nice project! I was excited to try it, exported my activities from Strava, and promptly noticed I had a suspicious number of activities listed today. It seems like it only looks at the file modified (or created?) date, and not at the file titles. I think it might be useful to also look at file names, since exported data will often have incorrect modified dates.

It should take the time inside the gpx file; maybe there is something missing in your exports?

[el-tiuri]

I just checked the files, there are valid and correct timestamps in them. They were converted from .tcx though, so something might have gone wrong there. I’ll retry using non-converted files, hopefully it fixes the problem.

Okay 👍

@el-tiuri did you get somewhere with the files?

I have been downloading walks / rides out of Map My Ride / Walk which is a painful process! Then converted the tcx to gpx using Garmin BaseCamp but they are all showing as being walked today.

I am guessing it's using the time and not the time?

I can upload a file if you want? Perhaps there could be a toggle when importing to use first time instead of ?

Would it be much work to support importing the tcx files directly?

[jovandeginste]

Feel free to upload a file! There were some heuristics in place to get a time, maybe there is yet another place inside the file? I don't trust the file's timestamp, and a filename is also finicky (no consistent format...)

3.77mi Walk.zip I have attached the TCX and Converted GPX in the zip

The converter sets the time-of-conversion as the "main" time, but keeps the track time correct:

I'll change the code to reverse the order it gets the time...

[wills106]

I have managed to convert all / most of my previous workouts a different way now, so is correct.

But I think the first track time will help others. As it makes the most logical sense that the first time recorded on the track is the start of the workout.

@wills106 what was the converter you ended up using? I tried to implement a tcx2gpx converter for my Google Fit files, but those contained too little information to be useful. I may take it up again with your file...

[wills106]

I ended up paying £10 to use RunGap.

Imported Garmin and MapMyRide to the iPad and exported all of them back out as FIT

I still need to rename loads of them. But was a saving trying to get data out of MapMyRide, they are a nightmare to get data back out of!

I had to import 564 files from Garmin / MapMyRide.

The FitoTrack gpx Import's was the easy part!

I'm not 100% happy with the conversion (Nothing to do with workout-tracker) I think I still have some issues with EGM84

But for historic data it can stay how it is. The main thing is that new data from FitoTrack is correct.

Edit: The logs are 10-12 years ago, so could be inaccurate GPS chip sets.

Edit 2: It probably is GPS issue. The recording soon drop by 18m to where they should be, also the ride ends at 211m which is very close. Probably a combination of 10-12 year old GPS hardware and starting a ride between two houses. I probably should always start after a few moments by the road in the clear.
