Temporary layer: Any gpx file can be imported as a layer. This can be used for developing layers, or for import from a user defined directory with predefined layers, as necessary. Layers imported this way will be saved when closing down the computer, they are persistent. More permanent layers should be kept in the “layers” directory, as described above.
Delete: Unloads the layer, but doesn't of course touch the originally imported gpx file. A progress bar will appear when deleting large layers. It is not possible to stop the deletion, once started. For size restrictions, see below.
Hide from Chart or Show on Chart Controls if the marked layer is visible. The same thing can be achieved by clicking the “eye” to the left of the layers name. A red X across the eye marks a hidden layer. See picture above. These settings are persistent, they will be remembered after a restart.
Hide WPT Names Shows a visible layer without waypoint names. This helps to un-clutter layers, when zoomed out.
List contents or Delist Contents Listing is this context means showing the individual points in the layer as waypoints in the “Waypoints Tab”
Import GPX.. and Export All..Warning these buttons has nothing to do with Layers. They work as if you are in an other tab. For import use “Import New Layers”. For export, create layers as described above.
Export All Visible.. exports all visible layers, routes and waypoints to a gpx file. Use this button to create new layers, for example. Just save the gpxfile in the right place, described above. Note that “visible” in this context is the opposite to a layer, route or waypoint being “hidden”. This means that objects not visible on the screen, may be included.
A progress bar will appear when exporting large layers. It is not possible to stop the deletion, once started. For size restrictions, see below.
If a layer includes extended marks, linked to pictures, for example, the pictures will not be exported, only the links to the pictures. To “export” the whole layer to another computer, copy all the pictures separately. Adjust all the links in the gpx file, to the new computer, by doing a “search and replace” in a text editor on the new computer.
