LSbatman Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is it possible to export a group of caches from an offline list directly to a geocaching.com list? My current method is to export a GPX and then use GSAK to load it on a geocaching.com list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 You can add individual caches to a list but not a group. One impediment is the API does not allow creating a bookmark list. If it already exists, I guess Cachly could add one of its lists to that bookmark list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Currently you can only add a cache one at a time to a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btwchen Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Also, if this is a group of caches filtered our of an off line list, could I add the complete filtered group into a different existing or even new list? Or do I have to do that one by one? For example If one existing group is to large and I would like to separate some caches into an other group (all off-line).

Make an empty list. Copy your full list to it. In the copy filter, for example, Has Corrected Coordinates=Yes. In the original, filter Has Corrected Coordinates=No. Then in the copy, choose action Delete Filtered Caches. In the original list do the same action. You have now split the original list into two, the original with Corrected Coords and a copy without them. Btwchen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rragan Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I haven't been keeping a list because I thought you had a master list. I can see providing you a set of features that I think make a nice related set of capabilities, but I don't have insight as to whether they would naturally be best implemented together. What's your pleasure? I can trawl ok'd posts to make a list and even rank it per my desires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSbatman Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't know anyting about API rules or software but I ran a test on GSAK putting caches into a list. It put 979 caches into a list in 4.5 seconds. That seems pretty fast doing it one cache at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I have all the requests on my bug tracker, I just didn't want to miss any since they were all very similar and it would be easier to develop at the same time. Would love it if you made a list with your ranking. (I don't mean all your feature requests, just the ones pertaining to offline list saving, bulk highlighting, etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is currently no way of doing this other than adding individual caches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I am a GSAK novice but I found the Add to Bookmark List... feature. They require an existing bookmark list since everyone adding to list has such a need. I added 22 caches and it did it in about a second so I'm guessing GSAK is not using it's usual screen scraping to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootguru Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 @rragan I’m pretty sure GSAK only uses the GC API — no screen scraping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
