Profiles bug and request

Wow! Thanks for the implementation of profiles in the last couple of betas. These are such a great improvement for the software. I can now keep my GPX files for walking, mountain biking, road biking, running, etc in different directories, etc.

A couple of issues though:

• I have started to use a different Mapmytracks account for each activity type and profile and have set the "default activity type" (in Oruxmaps) accordingly. However, it now seems to set my uploads to "miscellaneous" even though I have it set correctly in Oruxmaps (in earlier betas I think it was correct).
  

• In a previous posting (https://oruxmaps.forumotion.com/t1259-favourite-track-types) I requested the option to define your favourite track type to be used for saving in the Oruxmaps database and for uploading to the various online services (Everytrail, Mapmytrack, GPSies). Now that you have implemented profiles, this would be a perfect time to introduce this so that people can have a different profile for each activity. What do you think?
  

Thanks again for such a great application.

Hi, Alastair; thanks.

About MapMyTracks; I have reported them this problem, because I think OruxMaps is working fine. There are some activities (mountain bike, for example) that does not work, but there are other than yes.

About saving preferences about track type, I am working with that. But will be ready for next version. I want to release soon 4.2, because I received a threat from a map provider, I have to remove their maps if I do not want to end up in jail

Mapmytracks - ah that probably explains why I thought it had been working sometimes and not others. Thanks.

Track types - I can see where your priorities have to be! You wouldn't get a very good GPS signal from inside a prison cell,

Good luck with the greedy map providers!
