Changes to paths aren't saved was created by silexmultimedia
I'm getting to be more acquainted with this component, and this weekend, I tried creating a path.
It worked well except for one little detail, once I have the path tool selected, I couldn't zoom in or out, nor move the map around, so this made precise placement of waypoints very hard on large maps.
But I thought that in this case, I could work around this problem, by placing each waypoint roughly on my map at a scaling that could avoid me moving the map. And once that path would be saved, I could then edit each of my waypoints more precisely.
And to be honest, the editing of waypoints works well, and it's even easy to add new ones, so I thought that my "workaround" almost worked, but that was until I found out that my changes weren't saved, even though the rest of the other data can be modified and saved successfully, even after being saved more than once.
I'm not sure if it's related, but I could see that in the text field, where the coordinates are displayed, separated by semicolons, the values don't change to match the edits made by dragging waypoints in the map. So the changes show up correctly on the map itself, but if it's the values in that field that goes to update the DB, then it's easy to understand why changes to the waypoints aren't saved.
I have version 5.6.0.2 for the admin running in Joomla! 3.2.3

ok... found it... just another case of should have read more carefully the Documentation You can close this thread. Although maybe a little warning in that window, that the map needs to be "touched" in order to refresh the coordinates in the text field could be helpful.

OK. I'll think of it, may be I'll add some static text in paths details
