I have a video recording (using gopro max 2 in non-360 mode) with bad GPS data, and I want to upload it using desktop uploader 5.1.1 for Linux: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/4/8/4834986413896bb9338b6d00245fdf46ea8363e5.png) I had a separate longer GPX track, which I now managed to slice to match up with the video. However when I load it via “Add GPX file”, absolutely nothing happens, and I still cannot upload: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/mapillary/original/3X/c/f/cfa8dcdca6f1a49e4626e1597eab335878b26920.png) This is the log, after I clicked the “Add GPX file”: > `[23:06:16.017] [info] [services:observer-manager] Registering 048d2c10-8091-11f1-bdb4-6784dbbe1dba` > `[23:06:16.018] [debug] [exiftool] /tmp/user/1000/.mount_mapill1HQc5A/resources/static/exiftool/exiftool [` > ` '-ext',` > ` 'insv',` > ` '--ext',` > ` 'gpx',` > ` '-charset',` > ` 'filename=UTF8',` > ` '-@',` > ` '/tmp/user/1000/mapillary_upload_list.txt',` > ` '-r',` > ` '-w!',` > ` '/tmp/user/1000/mapillary_insv_exif/%f%c.xml',` > ` '-api',` > ` 'largefilesupport=1',` > ` '-X',` > ` '-ee',` > ` '-G3',` > ` '-n'` > `]` > `[23:06:16.178] [debug] [exiftool] Error: File not found -

@enteq could you share the .gpx file either here or in a private message? ---

Hi, sure, I sent you a message, but unfortunately I was only able to paste it in two parts, as discourse neither accepted .gpx file, nor accepted more than ~30K characters.
