[Users] Qfield issue on Samsung Galaxy S10

[Peter Stone]

Hi Matthias,

Thank you once again for your prompt attention and response.

I have created a new folder to hold my projects which is not called “QField”.  On opening the project from the new folder, it works, but before, the issue occurred after a few days or uses. 

I will see what happens and report back.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

Does this also happen if you put it into another root folder than /QField?

QField does in general not remove any file. However the folder /QField is a bit special since it comes with a couple of "special" folders (basemaps, grids etc. go in there).

Hi Matthias et al.
 
I’m still getting a load of great use out of Qfield so thank you for that!
 
I was in touch previously about problems with my Samsung S7.  Lucky me, I now have a Samsung S10!  All is working ok but I have an irritation (which isn’t stopping me working).
 
In my projects, I use UK Ordnance Survey base maps which are in the Qfield project as .tif files.  For some reason, they get deleted from the Qfield project directory on the Samsung device after a few days.  The files are originally there, and I can work with them for the first few days, but then disappear!  If I don’t check before going out, I can arrive on site and get an “Unable to load some layers” message when I fire up Qfield.  It doesn’t stop me using the app but I just don’t have background mapping.
 
I package a project with QFieldSync, then copy the files from my PC into a “QField/Project Name” directory on the internal storage of the Samsung S10.
 
It’s only the .tif files that get removed.
 
I’m on QField Version 1.7.8
 
Thanks
 
Peter
