Set your geocaching username in the preferences (once), and import the My founds pocketquery from geocaching.com. Now all your found caches will be visible with found-date

Unfortunately that is not possible. I would like to support these caches in iCaching, but Groundspeak decided to not make them available for download;  not via a GPX file, nor in their API. I’ve asked them to enable this, but for now it seems we should not expect that anytime soon.

Be aware of the fact that GPX-files (pocketqueries) don’t contain Favoritepoints. The only way to get Favoritepoints is by downloads through the API. You can do this by the API-button on the taskbar, or by using the ‘Download through API’ option in the Pocketquery dialog (reveal options by the little up arrow in the bottom).

Is it possible you recently updated from version 4.x to 5.x or later. In that update the database is converted and for some users that conversion goes wrong. But luckily a backup is in place.

You can take the following steps to make it work again:

1 Stop iCaching (not close the window, but really Quit it (use Quit from the main menu, or press cmd-Q)
2 Go to the folder where the database resides. You can do this as follows:
Select the ‘Go’ menu in Finder while holding the option (also called alt) button. Now the menu shows an entry called Library. Click that one and browse to: /Containers/com.teamGiants.iCaching/Data/Library/Application Support/iCaching/
there you arrive in a folder with files named storedata. These (probably 3) files are the database.
3. Move the storedata files out of this folder and keep them as backup (e.g. on your Desktop)
4. If you don’t mind loosing the old data, go to step 6
5. The file with the word ‘model’ in the name is the backup of the data before the conversion process. Make a duplicate of it in the same folder and rename it to storedata (without extension)
6. Restart iCaching

If you did step 5, it retries the conversion. If that still fails, then please send me your storedata and backup file (via Mail if you have El Capitan, otherwise via wetransfer.com because of the file size). Then I’ll try the conversion and find out if something is wrong.

Excuse for the inconvenience.

iCaching stores all cachedata in a hidden location in the users ‘Library’ folder. This location is hidden by Apple because you can harm your system by fiddling around in here.
But when you know what you are doing, here is the location: Users/YourName/Library/Containers/com.teamGiants.iCaching/Data/Library/Application Support/iCaching/storedata

Yes, you are right; this is pretty hidden. But I didn’t invent that…

To access the Library folder, go in Finder to the ‘Go’ menu on top of your screen. Then hold the alt-key to reveal the ‘Library’ item in that menu and click on that item. Now you are in the library and can browse down to ‘Containers’ and further.

Add a’ Gpx-date is in the last 14 days’ (or less) filter to your selection filter. This ensures you are using recent cache-information.

Or (from version 4.0) refresh cache-availability by rightclicking on the selected caches.

Yep, that’s right. Geocaching.com doesn’t support that pocket query through the API. So the only way to get that into iCaching is to download it through your browser and drag it into iCaching.

(and send a mail to geocaching.com that you want that pq to be supported in the API 🙂
