Hello,

I am using OM 12.1.0 NG on a Pixel 10a running Android 17.

When I tap the Open Camera icon, instead of launching the camera, it prompts me to select an app from either the default photo gallery app (Google Photos) or the file manager app (Cx File Manager).

Interestingly, this issue does not occur in OM 10.7.4 GP (installed on the same phone). Both versions have the exact same permissions granted for Photos and Videos.

Has anyone else run into this or found a fix?

Thanks!
Marco

I'm glad you solved your problem with the links in the photos, professional solution to the script issue!! Regarding the top bar, it seems to be more of a conflict with the operating system of the phone's device. I have oppo LG and I have no problem with any. I hope it can be solved

The strange fact is that I have both the GP and NG versions installed on the same device (Samsung A33 with Android 16) and such issue is present only in the NG version.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Marco

Hi,

Hi Tronpo,

I confirm that copying the oruxmapstracks.db file from GP to NG works. Now, in the NG, I can successfully see my previously recorded tracks.

However, photos in the tracks detail are still missing although they are present in the device storage:
- /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/pictures (GP version)
- /Internal Storage/Android/media/com.orux.oruxmapsNG/oruxmaps/pictures (NG version)

The check for broken links did not work.

Concerning the above issue, I fixed it by developing a small Python 3 script (see attached file).

Instead, the issue related to the "Immersive mode" (i.e., impossible to hide the top buttons when tapping on the maps), it still present. I hope, this will be solved in the next release of OruxMaps NG as, although not critical, it is quite annoying.

Thank you.
Marco

Hi Orux,

Thanks for this great news!

I noted some possible issues I found during the migration GP -> NG.

1. After migrating GP files from /Android/data/oruxmapsDonate/files/oruxmaps/ to /Internal Storage/oruxmaps/ (@Tronpo, thanks for your tutorial), I noticed that my stored tracks lost links to the associated photos. Perhaps the paths to such photos stored in the database has not been updated during the file migration. Is there a way to fix this?

2. I performed step (a) to copy GP files in the NG storage, except for the oruxmapstracks.db file. In order to see in the NG vesion all my tracks previously recorded with the GP version, is it safe to overwrite the (empty) oruxmapstracks.db of NG with the one from the GP version? I think that also in this case the paths of the photos associated with old tracks needs to be fixed.

3. In the NG version, when "Immersive mode" is enabled, I noted that once the bar with top buttons is displayed, it is difficult to hide it. For instance, I need to first tap on the navigation floating button and the close the associated navigation menu, or similarly I need to open the trip computer and the close it. Instead, in the GP version, to make the top bar disappearing it is sufficient to tap on the map.

Thank you for your help and time.
Best regards,

Hello,

In future versions of Oruxmaps, I think it would useful adding the ability to both take and plot bearings (azimut values) on a map between two points.

What do you think?

Thank you. Best regards.
