This happened to me over the weekend, and as a result I now have two track logs for one of my flights. With the old format, I could just append the data from the second into the first file, and end up with one log. Is there any way to do this with the new 'binary' format? Is this format documented anywhere? Thanks Andy

So you can still stitch them together at that point, if you like, because they're in raw text form. Only when you open them for the first time does SkyDemon convert them to the more compact binary format.
