First let me say I am finding this app just about perfect. But... big grin...

I like to log my different 'activities' such that I can name the exported file with that activity in the name.
I do this by having different profiles set up for cycling, walking, running, snowboarding and saving to a custom file name with %PROFILE in the name.
Works fine.when I go into the app, select the profile and start logging.

What would be nice/even better-

The current shortcut/widget start/stop uses the last profile used.

It would be great if there was a way to somehow link that widget with a profile. Maybe a start/stop button for each profile? I am happy to have several start/stop buttons on the screen as long as the are labelled ok.

Would I be able to do this with "intents" as I have just started experimenting with Tasker for example.

Thanks for this!

I feel that the above suggestions are very good. It would be even better if the configuration file can be directly called through shortcuts and can be controlled through time. Application Scenario 1: Driving during commuting hours, recording when the moving distance is long, and only using GPS. Scenario 2: After returning home at night, all localization stops and the background kills, unless manually initiated. Application Scenario

I think that you can already manage this request by using a Shortcut manager app that can handle Android Intents.
By doing so and following guidance to GPSLogger Intent usage in the FAQ, this should answer your needs.

I'm saying that as I myself use an automation app called Macrodroid to automatically switch between GNSS tracking profil depending the vehicle I'm using with the help of a Bluetooth trigger event.
Like this I can send data to a Traccar web server and easily separate vehicle data even if they're coming from the same GNSS Tracking smartphone.

Intent method does require some rigourous management but it doesn't require that much of effort.
If I can help you just let me know and I'll be glad to support as I already have a running exemple on my side.

Thank you for your attention.
