Not able to add pictures before posting a saved draft log

Hi

I have a list of draft logs.
Now I want to finish editing them and post them.
But in the edit window I don't have the possibility to add a picture nor do anything with trackables.
The only option is to post the log and then afterwards find the log and edit it.

Is there an easier way? If not, then I would like to wish for the normal log windoiw to be shown when editing a draft log and not then "light" version that doesn't have many options.

Thanks
Jacob

I don't have the draft switch when editing a draft?

Ah, yes...

After at geocaching trip, when I need to log the caches I have found, I go to the draft list on the profile page on Geooh. And then I would like to log the caches from there, as the list contains all the drafts and in the correct order. This is also how you can do it in the official app.

If I have to run the "Log geocache" task, then I would need to find every cache I have found either on the map or on some lists and then create the log. That is quite cumbersome...

I suggest that the same form appears when opening the log in the draft list as when using the "log geocache" task. That would also resemble the official app

Best regards
Jacob

The Profile view of drafts is similar to the official app and website... Post Log. For full functionality use the Geocaches component of Geooh. You can filter any list with the "Has Draft" filter... or filter by the ! icon... then update/post drafts from the list.

The value in this method is you can post by offline list. It would be extremely cumbersome to go through a list of drafts to determine which offline list they came from in case you didn't want to convert ALL the drafts to logs. The offline lists help you organize your activities, both in caching and logging.

I don't quite agree on this.
In the official app and on the website you select one log from the list of drafts and then you have the possibility to edit the log, attach pictures, drop trackables and submit the log.
On Geooh you can only edit the text and then save the draft. No picture og trackable options are possible.

This would require that the caches logged with a draft are added to a list manually, unless they are very close and can be found with the live view. Much more work than on the official app. And you wouldn't have the right order of the logs as they are only shown in the list of drafts.

Geooh Go is lightyears ahead of the official app on most parameters (and thanks a lot for this!!), but logging using the draft logs it right now easier on the official app :(

Hmmm... these are the only options for me when viewing drafts in the official app (see screenshot).

If you don't have the cache/draft in an offline list, then using the website or official app (although I don't see it) is best for adding photos and TB logs.

When clicking on one of the drafts in the official app or the website, then you can add photos and do TB stuff before posting the log.

Just curious as to why this is not possible in Geooh.

The way I (and most of my friends that use drafts) use it, is to go through the draft list and log the caches from there. Then you have the correct ordre of the logs and you don't miss any (just because they might not have been in your list - spontaneous caches)  :)

Can you provide a screenshot of the official app like I had?

All the logging functionality was built into the Geocaches component of Geooh, not the Profile component. Consider them separate sub-apps. I can add it to a feature request list for a future version of Geooh.

2 pictures:
On of the draft list and the second of the draft when clicked on it. Teh abililty to add pictures is present here in the edit log and you can post the log directly from this edit log page.
