Enhancement for Multipart track
I’ve discover something very usefull
The possibility to shrink Sub-Segment. To do it, you have to locate the second segment and shrink it, so the third will be next and so on until you reach the next Full-Segment.
This can be very usefull when you have to record many different places that are not related. Let supposed you have to track only new roads sections constructed recently and having to incorporate those small part into the main shapefile. Having the possibility to rename each Sub-Segment and replace new_trk with True will be more easier to do than having to explode multipart shapefile.
An other enhancement to this operation can be appreciate and the way to do it is to have the possibility to filter record or shrink according to ‘new_seg’, this way the user will have the possibility to replace ‘new_trk’ with ‘True’ and rename ‘ident’ (important to replace ‘new_trk’ first).
Another way to do it is by programming. The user have to check a box and for each record having ‘new_seg’ = ‘True’, the field ‘new_trk’ is replace with ‘True’ and ‘ident’ is replace by the content of ‘ident’ + the record number or something else. (Must take care of the length for the name)

Saving to a Line (as opposed to a multi-part line) should use the New_Seg field to determine new features (should be creating a new feature/record in your shapefile for each New_Seg=True).
I need to put some more work into the reading/writing code. Apparently I broke something before the last release.
