Agreed. But OsmAnd developers chose to use a hidden file. Is there any reason it needs to be hidden? OBF, GPX and XML files are not hidden.
There used to be a UI that could be used to define a remote TMS server if I remember correctly. I could not find that when I looked recently. So, the only way to enable OsmAnd to access a user defined external TMS server is to manipulate the .metainfo file. And it's quite clumsy, and requires lots of explaination to direct people on how to set it up. Most file browsers cannot rename it without a filename. Most file browsers do not offer the option of listing it or deleting it. Finding one that works is not easy. ES File Explorer is the best I've found, but it would not let me overwrite the old one, and there is no way to delete it without deleting the entire subfolder. That's annoying. Why not just allow it to have a filename so that all file browsers can manipulate it? That's my point. I doubt many users are doing this, so I understand it's a low priority for change, but this minor change would be an improvement for the few of us that find it to be useful and differentiates OsmAnd from a large pack of less capable, less open apps. 😁 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
