Two persistent bugs and a missing feature
I have been using GaiaGPS for thousands of kilometres of walks during the pandemic. Mostly it works very well, but I have noticed two persistent bugs and one absent feature:
1) Putting walk routes or tracks into folders often fails, leaving them in the folder where they originated or even briefly showing them in two folders at once. It can be fixed by trying over and over on the iOS and desktop apps, but it would be nice if it was more reliable.
2) Random items from folders which are not set to be displayed will sometimes show up anyway until the visibility of the folder is toggled on and off. For example, I have folders for radio masts and pedestrian bridges which I don't usually want to see, but when I re-open the app on iOS or desktop a few of the items from the hidden folders are often visible.
3) The iOS app has a very easy way to export an entire folder as a GPX or KMZ, but I can't find any way to do the same thing via the desktop app.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for reaching out.
I was unable to replicate the bugs you mentioned in #1 and #2. I have emailed you directly to troubleshoot.
To export a folder from the website (desktop app), you must do it from the folder details page. Here's how: Export Data as GPX, KML, or GeoJSON from gaiagps.com
The post you linked to describes an old issue with the Android app. Since you have the iOS app, I suspect you are experiencing a different issue.
