Then something goes wrong when loading or saving the options. It should remember every option. I'll have to look into this.

Error message if invalid Track Directory is entered and Open Track Manager is selected.
Which error message? The track directory is now used to save tracks even when they are not exported (those are the .bbt files). So the correct directory really has to be set. If you select another one, then those tracks stored in .bbt files won't be shown (tracks from older versions that where stored in the Record Management System should still be displayed).

bbtracker can lose access to the microSD card. I believe this happens when the 8800 is plugged into a computer and the user lets the device switch to "Mass Storage Device mode" rather then the standard mode.
How does this show? Is it possible to access it again after it's been unplugged? Does removing and putting back the microSD card solve it? I fear there's not much I can do about this.

Files are saved as .gpx.rem or .klm.rem. Still not able to read file after removing .rem
Really? I've definitely got no ".rem" anywhere in my code, so this is not my doing ...

Are you sure that you've got not other program running that somehow accesses the filesystem in some strange way? Could you send me those files (together with the unloadable .bbt files) to bbtracker AT bbtracker DOT org? This way I could try to find out what's wrong.

What is a .bbt file, and how to I convert it to a klm or gpx file? For some reason this file isn't recognized at all when it's stored on my microSD card. When I move it to the main memory it will show up in Track Manager but it says that it's wrong version. Please help me convert this if possible!!
A .bbt file is where bbTracker saves it's track in a format that it can load again. In the long run I'd like bbTracker to use .GPX as it's native format (i.e. not need any other files to store it's track), but that's currently not possible since bbTracker can't read .GPX files yet and the .GPX files created by bbTracker don't contain every bit of information bbTracker has about the tracks (i.e. it's not lossless).
The version message is quite strange. I store a format version number in the .bbt file, so that I can change the format without breaking everything. But right now there is only one version, so there should be no way to get that message.

Requests:
Better Saved settings. Setting the directory each time the app is started is a pain!
Agreed. I need to find out why the settings are not saved for you.

Quote:
Change menu item "Open Track Manager" to "Track Manager"
Fair enough.

Starting a new track should request a filename, and suggest one automatically.
Doesn't it? Granted, currently it's "Track <n>", which is not the best, but there's already a ticket for that: #25 (Better default track name) - bbTracker - Trac

Lately I've been getting some bug reports that I have a hard time reproducing, which means I have a very hard time fixing them. I will probably implement an optional debug feature which will log to a file in the track directory to help me solves those cases.
