barefootguru reacted to Highlands_guy in Cache find logs duplicated in off line list caches
I downloaded some offline lists, but note that some logs are duplicated but without a user name.
Here's what I did:
I created some lists on Project-GC. I then uploaded them to a list on Geocaching.com.
On Cachly I opened the on-line list I just uploaded from Project-GC, then saved to a new off-line list (full data). I then opened the offline list and refreshed the data (full data).
When I open a cache from this offline list, I notice that many logs are duplicated. The duplicates typically don't have a cachers name above it, but has the same date and log text.
I then do a "Pull down" refresh on that one cache from the main detail screen of the cache and the duplicate logs are all gone.
I would have thought that doing a full refresh on the list would have done the same thing.
Here's a picture showing the before/after look of the log files.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Cache find logs duplicated in off line list caches
This is an issue that comes about from one of the new API's for downloading Lists. It previously didn't include the log owner information. Once you use the update cache option, that uses a different API that DOES include that data.
This will be fixed in 5.0 as those APIs have now been fixed.

Also when creating a new list, Cachly should select it too, to save a needless step.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in PQs now pausing in 4.3
PQs are now fetched 50 caches at a time rather than 200 since 200 was causing server timeouts for some users.
Moving to the new PQ API will also require a max of 50 so the move was inevitable even though we are not using that method yet.

Do you know if there are actually caches hidden near you? e.g. from looking at https://www.geocaching.com/map

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Themes for offline maps; Move filtered caches; POI support
Well, since we already have Saved Locations and creatable offline geocaches, I don't see an additional POI option being created. If anything we would enhance the create geocache option to include images.

barefootguru reacted to Bolling in Themes for offline maps; Move filtered caches; POI support
You have my vote on this. There's already a good backlog of enhancements that support Geocaching which is the primary function most of us want.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Crash when trying to delete offline ilst.
Yes, this exact issue was fixed yesterday and will be in our 4.3 release.
Some boring background info on the issue: The crash was being caused when images for those caches were being gathered for deletion. This process was using too much memory and would cause Cachly to crash.

U might be for that reason, L O I S are easily confused with other letters.

I am still following this thread and will work to replicate and fix.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Export to a Bookmark List
Looks like I am just an idiot and was just not sending more than one cache code to add to a bookmark list. Will get this added in the next release.

barefootguru reacted to Team DEMP in Edit log changes order
Is there a way a regular user can see the date & time for their logged caches?
Is GC still screwed up with sometimes passing dates in local time and sometimes not?
They REALLY stink with consistently handling date/time/time zones

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Loading offline caches
In a future version there will be an option to choose the Offline List to import your PQ info.

barefootguru reacted to Team DEMP in Personal Notes and corrected coordinates
See http://www.cach.ly/support/index.php?/topic/1070-how-to-use-coordinates-in-personal-cache-note/ for a similar discussion.
An option until a more automated solution is considered, would be to go to https://project-gc.com/Profile/SolvedMysteries and add any filter you want such as filtering out found caches, and start updating the corrected coordinate data field.
Another option, if you are a GSAK user, is to investigate if the corrected coords you have in the cache note are or can be put to another field in GSAK and then run one of several macros that would update the corrected coordinates on gc.com, which of course would then be reflected in Cachly.
Now that GC has mostly resolved the corrected coordinate mash-up, folks should move to what should now be universally supported. The solutions used by GSAK, PGC and older apps are hacks implemented before things were a bit more consistent. GSAK, PGC and other apps are supporting the official method so folks just need to get that step done.

barefootguru reacted to Attila_G in Offline vs Online Map (speed comparison)
Hello Nic
I am always disappointed with the speed of loading the offline maps. That's why I made two comparison videos:
Video 1 shows the offline map of Switzerland
Video 2 shows the same online OSM map
As you can see, loading the offline map takes much longer than loading the same online OSM map!
My setup:
- iPhone 6 / 64GB, iOS 11.2.5 connected to WLAN
- Cachly 4.0.1 / Location/Maps: Switzerland
Why is the offline map so slow? When you're out in the field, it feels like forever... The main reason for me to use the offline map is that small ways are better visible.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Cachly 4 crashes updating list
This is painfully slow.
I am rewriting the entire interface and background downloading for updating caches. This will be in the next beta.
I tested updating 1,000 full caches and got the following:
Basic Update: 3.8 seconds
Full Update: 39.8 seconds
It has been a while since I revisited the old code that is currently downloading/updating caches so it was time for a rewrite.

barefootguru got a reaction from ElectroQTed in Downloading PQ in v4.0
FWIW I'm experiencing the same slower time downloading PQs. I update my iPad — still on previous version, and iPhone — on latest version, at the same time, so it's not a network issue. The 2 devices used to take about the same time, the iPhone is now significantly slower (twice as long?)

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Multiple offline lists active at once
Thanks. This is something that we have on the list for a future version.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in View attributes in cache summary
I am very particular with how things look and are designed in Cachly so I am not sure I would like that...
This is on my list to think about.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Filtering experience
In beta 11 Filters that use the text type "Matches" now support regex.

barefootguru reacted to Nic Hubbard in Filtering experience
A new Inverse option will be available for all non-boolean filters in the next beta.
Thanks for the suggestion, when building and testing this I realize how powerful it is!

barefootguru got a reaction from hidegoseek in Who is using "Logs"?
@ACME WildCachers The special My Finds PQ always includes your own log(s)… and no others.
AFAIK Cachly merges/combines the log entries when refreshing.
