OK, that mostly worked thanks.

• the pocket queries didn't get a tick beside them, so I had to manually track which ones I'd downloaded.
• there's more than 16,000 caches so I couldn't update them all… how can I continue the update in 24 hours?  I tried a few filters like Date Last Updated, No Logs, and No Waypoints*

*Looks like a bug in 8.0.2:  with a filter of Has Waypoints = no, Cachly shows caches from all lists, rather than just the one I'm currently in.  'Showing 101,945 of 16,639'

Is there a way to bulk import GPX files?

I have 23 PQs I've downloaded as zip files (because of the bug importing PQs which causes them to hang).

I've tried importing from within Cachly, and Sharing from Files, but those methods only import one / the first file.

Thanks

It's not HTML, just '[br]' for a line break.  We've needed to use it since geocaching.com stopped rendering the line breaks.

I'm seeing it too, e.g. my GCACD0M Fly like a Pekapeka (Wellington)

Happy to, thanks for investigating!

Yes, this is not normal. How long have you had Cachly installed?

Since a very early version.  Is there a fix I can make, or do I have to reinstall?

Cachly is showing a total of 32 Gig used in its usage screen, but iCloud backup is saying Cachly is taking 106 GB.

Is this expected?  I only have a 200 GB iCloud plan…

Cachly 8.0.1, iOS 17.4.1

Still occurs in Cachly 8.

  Where can I choose the format?

I'm not understanding the issue — you can continue using your existing offline maps in the new version for $0, they just won't receive updates.

What do you show under  More > Backups ?

 And yes you can delete them. 

Published.zip from last month but it’s only 21 Meg and I didn’t create it?

The PQs which stall seem consistent, do we know what the trigger is?  i.e. is there a way to change the PQ criteria to work around it?

Hmm, it downloads fine from the website, so I guess that's my workaround.

In More > Usage > Storage there's an item for Backups, which for me is currently 2 GB.  What's this used for, and can I delete it?  I've had a look around but can't find any info on it.

There’s been some chat on the forums about drafts and pictures

There’s some challenges here which are collecting caches found in different degrees of latitude/longitude.  Would be handy if there was a filter to search an offline list for that, e.g. latitude S39 01.xxx, S39 02.xxx (the filter for multis/mysteries should work on the posted coords, not the corrected).

Interesting.  Try the old 'halves' trick:  create a list with the first 24 and see if that works.  Then the second 24.  Then keep halving.  Alternatively there may be something obvious in one of the notes for the 48.

Might be just you I’m afraid.  I download PQs of around 800 caches regularly.  I have seen that behaviour occasionally.  Can you try from a different network?  Cachly 7.1.1

The cache in the screenshot was found (and hosted) by me on the 29th Feb 2020.  But when I filter my found offline caches by that date, it doesn’t show.

Cachly 7.7.1, iPadOS 16.3.1

If I filter an offline list by a single Date Found By Me, some caches are shown as expected.

But if I add some more Date Found By Me filters, with an Or for them, Cachly drops to zero caches (in this case I have 0 caches on the other dates).

I’m expecting an Or to always  add caches?

Cachly 7.1.1, iPadOS 16.3.1

For that second one I think you've found this.

Refreshing just the Personal Note in  an offline list doesn’t trigger a database save:

1. Go into an offline list
2. Select a cache which has already been saved offline
3. Tap to go into main overview screen
4. Go into Personal Note
5. Record what’s shown there
6. Tap back to map screen
7. On geocaching.com, edit the Personal Note
8. Back in Cachly, tap on the cache
9. Tap to go into main overview screen
10. Go into Personal Note
11. It’s the old info as expected
12. Go back a screen to main overview
13. Pull down to refresh
14. Go into Personal Note
15. New info as expected
16. Tap back to main map screen
17. Go back into cache
18. Tap into Personal Note
19. Old Personal Note is shown

Can work around this by making a small change to the Personal Note after step 15
Cachly 7.1.1 (1), iOS 16.1.1

Note if you download the caches for an area to an offline list, you can then filter that list by DNF… offline lists have much more powerful filtering.

Thanks for confirming.  So for PQs I need to download, download images, then update caches — that could be improved in a future release :]

Thanks Nic, great to know about the ability to add images.

I've just tested the personal notes and they're definitely not being updated.  Maybe because it's an existing offline cache?

1. I checked that the notes of an already existing offline cache and the notes on the website were the same
2. I edited the notes on the website to add a line
3. I created a new pocket query which included that cache
4. I downloaded the pocket query, through the '…more' tab, into a new list
5. The notes weren't updated
6. I dragged the cache page down to force a refresh, and the notes were updated

Cachly 7.1.1 (1), iOS 16.1

I regularly update my offline lists with pocket queries.  From using Cachly (rather than specific testing), it seems images aren't downloaded and personal notes aren't updated?

This means I need to rely on cell reception if I want to see images for a cache in an offline list, and personal notes can be out of date.
