[fixed] AlpineQuest v. 2.0.4 R3429 strange behaviour

[alexlong]

Hi and thanks for update and new features. Users buttons are cool!!!
I got some not very correct behaviour
1. Workspaces and users buttons
I put some users buttons let's say Location, Waypoint etc. I place Location at the top of the Users buttons list so I could apply long press on menu icon and make a waypoint immediately. But when I close AlpineQuest and re-open it I find Location users button in some other place but not at the bottom of the list. This happens only when I work with default workspace. Everything is OK with other workspaces made by myself, nothing moves and I always find Location users button at the top of the list where I put it before.

2. Some days ago I found it impossible to press Location users button and make a waipoint. I saw on the screen the following as on the screenshot. I could not solve the problem and decided to restore from Titanium Backup of AlpineQuest v. 2.0.4 R3429 which I made immediately after the installation. Now it works but I do not know how long.

Hi Alex!
It seems you've noticed the add of the new "Create waypoints" items... I remembered this request from you.
I also added a "Create location" which is actually a "Fast waypoint" button. I used the name "Location" to reuse another text. And in a way a location is a waypoint without data (name, icon, etc).

For your feedbacks:
1) I've reproduced the problem. I'll investigate and correct that. Thanks for the report, I didn't saw it (I always use a "tests" workspace...).
2) This message is displayed when you create a "fast waypoint" inside a folder that cannot contain a waypoint. For example, browse the "online waypoints", close the explorer and try to create a location. This is because the waypoint is created in the current explorer location.
Solution: I have now changed this and the application will use the "Unsorted folder" if the current folder cannot contains waypoints...

Hi, François!

You are absolutely right, I made a request Additional buttons on the main screen and you offered a solution even better I could imagine. So now it works perfectly. If I make a Location users button and place it at the top of the list I can long press Menu features button and create a (fast) waypoint (or Location point) immediately. I consider this feature very useful. If I do not have much time for placing a (normal) waypoint with a name etc. I just long press Menu features button, have a waypoint on the map immediately and go further. After I have time I can rename it or change some other things but anyway I spend minimum time for it in a hurry (lack of time, automobile movement, dirt or wet in the forest etc.). So it is very useful, thanks.
As to the "create-local-waypoint" failed I think I have found the reason why it happened. Sometimes I change the language in the "user_settings.conf" file and use English instead of Russian for example to make a screenshot for you or to check the translation and so on. So I have a new folder Unsorted landmarks close to my Russian Несортированные метки. When I go back and change the language to Russian I think the problem starts from here. I just cought the "create-local-waypoint" failed enscription and after that I deleted Unsorted landmarks folder. No more errors. I will keep on checking it.

Thanks for your feedback Alex.
I've corrected both issues. I'll publish a new beta quite soon. If everything is working fine I'll soon publish an official version.
Best regards

Hi, François!
Do you think it would be correct to rename Location button as Location (Fast waypoint) button?

[alexlong]

Today I changed the language in the application and I have "create local waypoint" error again. Unsorted landmarks folder is deleted.
Waiting for update
