Question: Will routes be seachable?

Open Twoflower2 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

This looks quite nice thanks.

I want to ask a question only and will explain with a use case. Our motorcycle club want to store/catalogue gpx files. These must be searchable say with metadata/tags of Country, province, duration, difficulty etc. It is currently store in folders/directories with some meaningful names but it is a real pain to find a route as more and more routes are added.

Will it be possible to add a feature to your software to help?

Thanks.

As you can see @yourealwaysbe has added a more powerful search method than had previously existed.

As an collaborative open source project we always welcome appropriate code contributions.

Within GPX files you can add arbitrary metadata into the 'keywords' tag that could be used for searching on.

Note that Viking currently only searchs data from files it has already loaded (and ATM does not look at the keywords tag), rather than generically searching files on disk. A more powerful internal search (and a way to display the results) would be good.
