Allow track creation without starting recording

Open vlmendz opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use the automatic track export feature at the end of the recording. If I forget to edit the track during the recording (put the name, type of activity, etc.) it is exported without this data.

Describe the solution you'd like Add in the menu an alternative option to the current one to create a track (it could be called "New Track"). So being still at home you could create and edit the track more easily, and already outdoors, with better GPS positioning just start the recording.

Describe alternatives you've considered Keep it as is

Does #1094 solve this issue for you? Now you get prompted before finishing a track to set the name / description. The new UI is not yet release (i.e., only in the nightly).

Yes, it works for me (however, I would like to be able to edit the metadata of a track before starting recording).
