Yep, that's right. The only thing gpxview does online is to download the images.

You should ask the groundspeak guys as they are the ones selling that service.

so, when i add some new .locs i just would paste them into /gpxview/<cachename> and gpxview would add them in the list if i import the directory again.
Why don't you just save them as cachename.log into the same folder. gpxview can import that one then. You'd have to rename the file then, but you'd also wouldn't have to create a new folder for every file. So the overall effort should be the same.

This shouldn't happen. You can run gpxview from xterm (just start xterm and type gpxview<return>) and have a look at the debug output happening in xterm while the hang happens. Or you might try to find a reliable way to cause that problem and tell me how to reproduce this.

i wrote gnuite a few times. he always has an open ear for requests and ideas. so, if it does not exists, i am sure this is an useful option.
Thanks again for this application
The current solution is the way gnuite suggests it to be as there isn't a dbus interface for this. He asked me to send a certain dbus message after the export so the MM screen gets updated. I do send this message but MM doesn't honor it. This is an MM issue and gnuite said he would fix that.
