How can I move photos from 'My Rides' to my photo library?
Hi!
I'm quite new to using Scenic and so far have only skimmed the surface of its capabilities. Today I did an amazing ride which I logged in 'My Rides' to record where I had been, and stopped to take photos along the way. I assumed that these would automatically be saved in my photo library as well, it was only after the event that I discovered that there is a setting for this. I've now changed the setting for future rides but is there any way I can transfer the photos from today to my library on my iphone 6 or export them to share with friends?
Many thanks.
TT
There is a way to share them with friends, but it's not yet available. A Scenic update with this feature will be released in the next few days. Here's a video on how this works (or rather, is going to work): https://scenicapp.space/blog/knowledge-base/sharing-routes-rides/
Once that feature is available, you can share any ride like that, even the rides you saved before this feature was out.
I will also make sure to change the default setting so that it saves pics to the camera roll by default. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your super quick reply - amazing!
Also congratulations on your excellent app, it really does mean I can do without an expensive dedicated sat-nav.
Look forward to the update and thanks again for your input.
Cheers!
The update was actually just released (a few hours ago). Should be available in the App Store as an update.
I've managed to share the ride easily by email, that works great, thanks! However, the photos are missing and that's the bit that I really want to share. Is there some setting that I'm missing? I've tried saving each photo to be 'Is Public' but each time I look at the photo again, this setting has changed back by itself. I'm sure it's user error on my part but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Cheers!
Whenever you edit a photo (e.g. make it public) you go back to previous screen (with the ride). You’ll have to tap the save button at the bottom to confirm the change.
planning to change this because I agree it’s not intuitive.
Thanks Guido, I've tried doing this but unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work. When you open the email that includes the link, there is a thumbnail of the route and that appears to have the photos but when you open the link the photos aren't there even though they have been saved as 'is public'. All the other info is there (distance, time etc) but not the photos. Maybe it's just not possible? Thanks, anyway, for trying to talk me down!
Ok. Can you share the link with me? Are you sharing a route or a ride?
Sure! It's a ride. I'm using an iphone 6, trying to open the email on a Macbook Pro. Just emailed it to you at guido@scenicapp.space direct from my iphone. Thanks very much!
