Thanks Nic!

Hi,

I have a reasonably large (32k caches) offline list that loaded in just fine a week or two ago...  Now, when I try to delete it, the app crashes without deleting...  Ive tried a few times and get the same result each time..

I think I sent the correct analytics file to the support email address...

Thanks.

I just hit the GPX file button for GC3PKD6, and checked a hex dump of the latest log entry (by bruzie).

This was the reason for heading up this road, my second-to-last find on the level 2 caches. The cache was a quick find and still nice and safe. Now to carry on up the road a little bit further. TFTC</groundspeak:text>

Thanks...  So it doesn't put in a visible escape code or anything like that.  I'll have to see if GSAK can embed this sort of line feed in the text string.   When I manually edit the GPX in notepad and add a couple line feeds in the right spots, it is still not interpreted by Cachly as line feeds, so notepad must encode it a bit differently than GC.com...

I was suggesting using LF characters (0x0A) instead of <br/>, as that's the norm for GPX files, and Cachly will honour the line breaks.

Can you post a snippet of the GPX file where you see the 0x0A?  I don't see that in any of the GPX files I pulled from GC.com.

Can you send me the GPX? Just use the Email Support option in Cachly.

I sent an email directly from my phone using the support option in the app.   Does the Diag info include the GPX, or do I need to attach it separately somehow?

Thanks!

I tested this with a cache where there were newlines in a log entry… the GPX just has LF characters (0x0A).

I’m puzzled about what all that info is doing in your log entries?!

I create the log in GSAK so I can have some extra fields (challenges, PAF and other info) that are not included in a normal GPX file available in the field...

And just to be clear...  I don't see the "<BR/>" in the log as displayed in Cachly, it appears to ignore them and all the fields run together.

Hi,   I am trying to get line feeds to be recognized in the cache logs for offline caches I import from GSAK.   I import a GSAK created "log" with the caches and it contains <br/> tags to break up the list of database fields I want to see.   I've also tried <p> </p>, but they still appear to be stripped out of the log text...

This is an example of the "created" log I export with the cache....

Placed: %datepl %custom_PlacedDateChallenge<BR/>Favorites: %caches_FavPoints<BR/>County: %custom_CountyChallenge <BR/>Delorem: %User <BR/>WaTG: %User2 <BR/>WaCities: %custom_WaCitiesChall <BR/>Chall: %custom_Jasmer %custom_Fizzy %custom_SnoCoHistory %custom_COTM %custom_Oldie%custom_Faves100<BR/>FBF:%custom_FoundByFriend<BR/>DNF:%custom_DNF_Date<BR/>Reviewer: %custom_Reviewer

Would it be possible to honor the <br/> tags, or is there another mechanism I can use to get line feeds? (some other ESC character?)

Thanks.

The headers are different and Cachly shows 1.0 while GC shows 1.0.1 . I updated the Cachly reference to match GC's reference and GSAK imported without the alert dialog.

In the generated GPX files the differences I outlined above are (which would be obvious if the forum didn't auto hyperlink):

http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0 vs http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1

and

http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/cache.xsd vs http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd"

both have Cachly outputting /1/0 while GC.com outputs /1/0/1

Sorry, I didn't really complete the thought...   Each file has two version numbers.  A GPX version and the Groundspeak Extention Version.. 

What I meant was that the Cachly shows GPX1.0 and GS1.0     Where the GC.COM shows GPX1.0 and GS1.0.1. 

Those headers appear to show that Cachly uses GPX v1.0 and GC.com v1.0 

GSAK and GC.COM both support v1.0.1 extensions (set in on your preferences)   v1.0 does not include attributes, but 1.0.1 does...

see https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/240499-differences-in-gpx-10-101-and-11/

Even if Cachly includes the attributes in the GPX file, without the proper version indicated in the header, GSAK (and potentially GPSRs that support 1.0.1) may not load them, thinking it's a v1.0 file.

Thanks!

Pretty much, yes...

There is a field in the GPX export form that you can put any data you want in, and it will create a fake "Write Note" log for the cache and includes it in the export.

This is what I have in that field :   (everything with a % in front of it is a database variable)

Placed: %datepl %custom_PlacedDateChallenge<BR/>Favorites: %caches_FavPoints<BR/>County: %custom_CountyChallenge <BR/>Delorem: %User <BR/>WaTG: %User2 <BR/>WaCities: %custom_WaCitiesChall <BR/>Chall: %custom_Jasmer %custom_Fizzy %custom_SnoCoHistory %custom_COTM %custom_Oldie%custom_Faves100<BR/>FBF:%custom_FoundByFriend<BR/>DNF:%custom_DNF_Date<BR/>Reviewer: %custom_Reviewer

This is the log that is generated in the GPX file:

<groundspeak:logs>
    <groundspeak:log id="-3">
    <groundspeak:date>2017-09-25T08:00:00</groundspeak:date>
    <groundspeak:type>Write note</groundspeak:type>
    <groundspeak:finder id="0">GSAK</groundspeak:finder>
    <groundspeak:text encoded="False">Placed: 08/16/2016 &lt;BR/&gt;Favorites: 1&lt;BR/&gt;County: Snohomish* &lt;BR/&gt;Delorem: WA-046* &lt;BR/&gt;WaTG: SnoWaTG-436 &lt;BR/&gt;WaCities:  &lt;BR/&gt;Chall:     &lt;BR/&gt;FBF:jcar,crs98,GrievousAngel&lt;BR/&gt;DNF:&lt;BR/&gt;Reviewer: Barking Frogz
    </groundspeak:text>
   </groundspeak:log>

Sorry if this has been asked for in the past, but I didn't find it while searching...

I'm a heavy GSAK user (and former Geosphere user) and one of the features I really miss is the ability to make the GSAK Extra/Log the first log in the list.  When I export the GPX with GSAK, there is a Field call "Extra Information to export as first log".  In Geopshere there is an option to make that the first log, or to sort it by date.   In Cachly, it appears that it's either sorted by date, or put at the end of the list of logs.  

Can we get an option to make that "log" appear as the first log?  I like to store a lot of extra information in that field for quick reference.

This is what the GSAK "Log" looks like in the GPX file:

   <groundspeak:logs>
    <groundspeak:log id="-3">
    <groundspeak:date>2017-09-25T08:00:00</groundspeak:date>
    <groundspeak:type>Write note</groundspeak:type>
    <groundspeak:finder id="0">GSAK</groundspeak:finder>
    <groundspeak:text encoded="False">Placed: 08/16/2016 &lt;BR/&gt;Favorites: 1&lt;BR/&gt;County: Snohomish* &lt;BR/&gt;Delorem: WA-046* &lt;BR/&gt;WaTG: SnoWaTG-436 &lt;BR/&gt;WaCities:  &lt;BR/&gt;Chall:     &lt;BR/&gt;FBF:jcar,crs98,GrievousAngel&lt;BR/&gt;DNF:&lt;BR/&gt;Reviewer: Barking Frogz
    </groundspeak:text>
   </groundspeak:log>

Also, For Geosphere I would put in "BR/" (exported as "&lt;BR/&gt;") for a line break in the logs, if there a string for Cachly that will force a new line in a simliar manner so all the fields are not squished together?

Thanks!
