[closed] app folder
Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2017 12:24 pm
I love Alpine Quest except for the behavior of saved information, I just don't understand how the app works.
From time to time, I lose my bookmarks and saved areas. So I decided to do some tests to try and understand what happens.
First, the storage location is the SD card in the default AlipineQuest folder right in the root of the internal SD card.
Too keep this simple I will only discuss on behavior at a time.
Displayed maps:
I open AlpineQuest, only the base map is displayed.
I add 3 new layers (Open street, Hiking/Cicling, and Outdoor)
I close the app.
Go back in the app and my layered maps are all showing, everything looks good.
I close the app.
I delete all of the folders in the app folder (Internal storage)
I turn on the app (the app recreates all of the folders).
The 3 new layers are still there.
Question. If I deleted all of the folders in the app, how can the app know I had added these 3 layers?
Thanks
