I use powerflarm and suspects its this connection that fails occasionally why merging the flight is necessary. Its normally under a minute to reconnect, however I still needs to merge the flight after end flight. And, as mentioned when I consequently have to merge the flight its rather cumbersome and not at all easy to see which flight that have been merged since new files gets made without deleting those one have just merged. There are no indications to which was old and now new - I think this can be improved with little effort and hope to see such improvement one day

From the Open screen, where they're all listed, simply slide to the left to reveal the Delete button. Is it just the temporary loss of GPS functionality which is leading to logs being broken up for you, and the necessity to use the Merge function?

It would be much better if I could just tick a few checkboxes to merge multiple logs together and Skydemon could sort them by start/end date to find the correct order and delete the old, seperate files.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 25, Visits: 85	The improvements in the logs are great, it's nice now to be able to go more than 12 months back. But, in this latest update the feature where its possible to delete a recent flight does no longer work. When I have been out flying, it occasionally happens that the device loses GPS connection and for that reason I have to "re-start" which results in several flights for the same flight. When this happens I have to merge flights. When I merge I am left with multiple files and for such I need to be able to delete those no longer of my interest because they now have been merged into a new file. It's a pain that often leads to mistakes! For that reason, I really miss a user friendly functionality of merging flights due to broken GPS connection. I always spend time trying to stitch the flight together resulting in multiple obsolete files - unable to know for sure which one I should delete to end up with just one file. This can be done much better in my opinion. Maybe by adding end time stamp on each flight in the RECENTS FLIGHT and when one file have been merged, the obsolete file should be automatically deleted from the list. -or, by allowing a selection of the files one wants to merge, eg. 2-3 "broken" files for a flight, and just press merge - then all selected files could be merged in one go and those merged deleted automatically leaving only one file behind. Maybe others have better suggestions?
