Beta features...

Thanks for the "List Folders" - very helpful!!!

Hopefully you will be able to fix the Smart List filter with this coming release. I tried to create a Smart List that uses multiple List Names as part of the "filter rule" but it still doesn't work.

While I'm asking for things, would it be possible to add the "Full Screen" option to the View menu. I have found that feature very helpful (using the Windows version) when planning long trips.

Still hoping for "extended attributes" for Waypoints so I can use BC to manage my POI's.

Thanks for the efforts in BC for Mac - my preferred platform!

P.S, How about porting BC to the iPad :D:cool:

If I export (gpx) a list of waypoints containing a green tent, fish, and a red P for the symbols , BC converts to the following text.
<sym>Campground</sym>
<sym>Fishing Area</sym>
<sym>Parking Area</sym>
How does the above relate to your category request.

What I want to do is to be able to have a waypoint categorized as "Accommodation" and "Canadian" and $ or $$ or $$$, and "Keep" or "Temporary" for example. All 4 categories attached to the same waypoint. Or "Restaurant" with the same secondaries.
Or a waypoint that is categorized "Route Point" and "Europe" and "Temporary" as well as a waypoint categorized "Europe" and "Accommodation" and "Keep".

My 3 GPS units will hold 3000 user defined (16 different categories) categorized waypoints and will search them and or delete them by category. When I load waypoints into the GPS from MapSource, it modifies the category list in the GPS to match MapSource. At the end of a trip I just find and delete all of the "Temp" or "Route Point" category, upload any that have made the grade to "Keep" etc.

There's nothing in BaseCamp that will accomplish this.

Having clarified a few things over the past few months, I would like to re-request the following:

Waypoint Extended attributes: Address, Street, City, Country, Post Code, Phone #, etc.
Ability to have POILoader operate on BC content from within BC: e.g, Select a List or set of Waypoints (and Routes) and have a POI file sent to the connected GPS. Notice I included Routes - as in TourGuide creation.
I would like BaseCamp to read POI (GPI) files from the connected GPS.

I've placed the above in order of priority - for me anyway.

I would still like to have within SmartList's OR conditions, maybe even NOR conditions, between SmartList objects.

Cheers,
