Hello!

I have set up an instance of FitTrackee to test the software a bit, and I have seen that at the moment we can only import files in GPX format. Could you add support for the TCX format which is also very popular, supporting much more information than GPX and used as export format for different wearables like Garmin?

For example, Amazfish use TCX as output file (and I suggested it to support FitTrackee) piggz/harbour-amazfish#362

Hi,

For now, only the gpx format is supported (but 3rd-party tools can be used to add files in other formats or from other sources).
Support for other formats is planned, but ideally requires a rewrite of workout file processing (see #194).

Thank you for considering it for the future. I will try the Strava-to-FitTrackee tool to import my activities from Strava. FitTrackee has a huge job and it's a platform that's very necessary!

You could give the tcx2gpx package a whirl to batch convert TCX to GPX files. If it doesn't work please let me know.

In time I'll see if the functionality can be incorporated into third party tools.

Thanks for giving tcx2gpx a whirl @juanro49 .

I've created an issue on the tcx2gpx repository to track work on this. If you're able to run tcx2gpx -j 1 this will force a single core to be used and help narrow down the offending .tcx file which I would be grateful if you could share with me if you don't mind as I can then investigate what is causing the problem.

If you are able to share the file on the above linked issue that would be great, or message me directly with it to avoid this issue going off track.

Cheers.
