(1) Yes, the station Moves to the assigned position, and all the other station update correctly, but the moved station looses it "MANUALLY" assigned logo.

Maybe you don't see this logo loss, , because when you SELECT that moved station, on your setup, it re-gets the Station logo automatically ??

(2) Thanks

(3) Yes, PITA with extra checking code to move folders & files, if still set up old way.

Something one can live with, once one realizes how it is structured.

==================

BTW: I did Download and extract the latest Maryland Zip file (with the correctly formatted name) , but then, even when I selected each of the Scanned Stations, NONE updated with the Filename Radio Station name or Logo.

Note : In the USA, Radio Stations are not consistent in what they put in their RDS information.

EVERY USA FM & AM radio station are assigned by the FCC, a 4 (or 3) Letter Callsign. ie WBAL

Some may then call themselves that callsign, a very few add "-FM" or "-AM"

Some do not send any RDS info.

Some do not send that Callsign as their radio station name

Some send a less Formal name ie 98-ROCK

Some are even sending information about the song they are playing where they should be sending the Station name.

It's a FREE FOR ALL.

About the only thing that is reasonably consistent is the SID .. If it has RDS, most, if not all, send the SID in the correct place.

If NavRadio+ should be able to Identify the current station based solely on the SID (ignoring any station name), it SHOULD work, but in practice, it does not (at least when I tried it yesterday)

So, at least for the USA, the ideal situation would be for NavRadio + to just key off the sid, and then in navradio+ ovewrite the RDS station name, with the one from the correctly SID keyed filename.

If the filename does not contain a Sid, then trying to match a Station name might work in a few situations, but it will be highly unreliable, as both

(a) Stations often use odd Station names

(b) Those USA State Logo files have a mix-match of filename formats, and do not the stick STATIONNAME-SID.png format (That the Maryland ones do I sent you)

=============

FYI and anyone else who might be interested, this is what I ended up doing, and am quite happy with it.

Major overkill, and a perfect example of someone who has "obsessive compulsive personality disorder" :)

Note: Seldom travel in my 31 year old car, more than 100 miles from my house:

(a) Went to the FCC Database and got a list of all COMMERCIAL Radio stations within 100 miles of my Home.

Freq, Name(Callsign), State, City, Power, FCC Id

Put into a Spreadsheet, which from the Callsign, calculated the SID (So I could later name Logo files correctly)

Did a DX scan and got all Stations receivable from my Home Location.

Listened to all of them, and set all Baltimore ones + any local strong ones to favorites.

Manually added any Radio Stations that were on my 100 mile list, had HIGH Power, that I might want to listen to if I drove withing range, setting them to NOT Favourite.

Then went through them again, and assigned LOGO files manually, and set the Station name to "freq StationCallsign Any-other-text-I-wanted

ie 97.90 WRCK 98-Rock

For any of these station I did NOT already have a Logo for, I made one and added into Navradio's RadioLogo folder ( for future access)

Assigned those new Logos to the station that had not got original logos.

Saved the stations .json file with a suitable name ie NavRadio_Home_100_Miles.json

Lastly: BACKUP !!!

Saved ALL my logos as set, backed-up on my Google Drive, along with the .json

======================================================================

I intend to use navradio+ as my Normal use radio Player, and NOT mess with its station list.

On the rare times I travel far from home, and those stations get weak, I can use the Default radio, and do a quick scan - and be contents to live without Logos for them in FCC.

Actually FCC saves Radio station FREQUENCIES, with a Name and a Logo in its own FCC database, (for the Head Units OEM Default radio), and I already have most of the Local Frequencies entered, so if I Re-Scan the default radio, and any found stations match the same Frequency as the FCC Database, they will have assigned names & logo
