Issues with deleting downloaded GPX

July 04, 2020, 12:50:39 PM

Have notice this issue before when trying to remove a downloaded file either in a GPX form or a Bookmark List. You download one file and it seems to delete it fine but have more than one file loaded and it does some strange stuff from adding the 2 together to copying the file with and empty listing even though it shows the count. As you see in the first picture, I have multiple listings of the same files. This was caused by my trying to delete one of them over and over. The second picture is what happen when I just deleted the top "Hidden Month Fort Worth". It didn't delete that file name and added to the bottom another copy of "Hidden Date DFW". Looking at the files individually the 2 "Fort Worth" files are empty and the other 3 "DFW" files are all the same. Both files worked fine before I tried to delete the "Fort Worth" File. I have to exit out of the app totally to correct the issue. When reloaded it has just one file the DFW. I have tried to delete 1 of 4 files download, have to reset to cleanup, and had it come back with one 1 of the 3 files that should be remaining. If I stay with one file at a time all is ok. It's when I have more than one file loaded that things get confused while merging or deleting. This happens with downloaded bookmark list and GPX files from Geocaching.com and/or Project-gc GPX's files.

I am confused as to the exact steps needed to replicate this. Offline files are downloaded and deleted by myself and others frequently... with no problems. Are you merging or is there some step taken that I'm missing?

If you can provide a specific set of actions that consistently demonstrates the issue, I can try to replicate it and fix it. If it's a specific bookmark list or GPX file, then me having access to it would also help.

Can you provide more info?

I'll try some different ways to load these files to see if I can narrow it down better. This case I did merge 2 together. It was strange because I merged file1 (29 caches) into file 2 (98) and it kept the name it file1 (made it 127) and removed file 2. Then when I tried to delete it, started messing with another file 3 (which had been there for a while) that was totally separate. Had to remove them all and start over. I will dig into it further and get back.. Have a trip where I can really test..
