Android 6.5.33 is out

Full version name is 2024.11.21-6.5.33.

Intro

Hi there.
In this release we did some large improvements on the performance of the app when having a large amount of images captured. As this improvements influence the way we store images, after the update we’ll migrate your existing non uploaded captures to the new architecture.
Additionally we increased the capture limit from 300 to 1000 and made some additional improvements and bugfixes.

Changes

  • improved performance of the app when containing large number of images
  • increased capture limit from 300 to 1000
  • reduced the size of dots on the map for better UI clarity
  • added dark/light theme selection in the settings
  • removing failed sequences from the profile after 14 days
  • when zoom out and clicking locate me button, now it will zoom in to the default zoom level
  • updated number formatting to remove trailing zeros after the decimal

Bugfixes:

  • moved the position tracker on the map above selected path to prevent overlapping
  • fixed sharing of images on devices bellow Android 10
  • fixed wrong display of upload size when re uploading
  • fixed padding on cards for large screen devices
  • fixed a crash at app startup
  • moved snackbar above edit toolbar

If you have any questions, or suggestions - please report them here.

O this interests me -.

So why was something like this added? Maybe some more info about it
Is it in the browser as well or does it only apply to android apps?

Hi @czecko, it was already implemented on the web browser and iOS. This is just a follow up from the Android side to sync with the other platforms. This applies only to the captures that have failed in processing after upload. This doesn’t impact your local on device captures that failed during upload.

That’s great, but either Mapillary Desktop Uploader, or the backend processing is still capping that to 500, so what’s the point?

@IreuN, Desktop Uploader and CLI tools have the limit of 500 images. They will increase this limit, but separately from an Android application.

At the same time Mapillary Android app has increased the limit to 1000 already now.


BR, Yaro

I prefer short sequences. If something is wrong, I am more inclined to delete the whole sequence. Deleting image by image is too much work.
