[OSM-talk] Flash player's own zoom tool fails with Potlatch 0.7
Hi, I have used to zoom in once or twice beyond Yahoo's last zoom level with Flash Player's native zoom tool launched from the right click menu when trying to draw accurately on Yahoo Landsat imagery. Now after Potlatch 0.7 update Flash Player zooming cannot be used anymore. You can reproduce the error simply: - Open Potlacth editor in any scale showing backdrop imagery - Do Right click - Zoom in - Slide the view a bit by dragging - Do Righ click - Show all Vectors and imagery do not match any more. Only way to make them match is to close the editor and start from the beginning again and avoid using the right click zoom. This feature has worked fine until yesterday. I have found it very useful and I would like to see it coming back sometime. -Jukka Rahkonen- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

This feature has worked fine until yesterday. I have found it very useful and I would like to see it coming back sometime. Unfortunately this appears to be a known bug with Flash Player when a SWF fills 100% of a div, as Potlatch now does (rather than being fixed-size). Hopefully Adobe will fix it but we're also planning to approach Yahoo and ask them if they could perhaps scale up their imagery rather than reporting no imagery available. Until then, you can realign the imagery by holding down Space and dragging it. Or I'm open to any other ideas, of course! cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Or I'm open to any other ideas, of course! This reminds me: Can we collect data on imagery realignments? If we could just log center of view, username, zoom level and how far it was dragged, we could look for areas that were dragged by similar amounts a lot, take an average, and then make potlatch open with the correction already applied. We could also forward the information to Yahoo. Perhaps we should also collect the number of edits made after the drag, and not keep drags with few edits made later, on the grounds that if you are doing a lot of editing, you are going to try to line it up more perfectly. Obvoiusly we would need a way to ignore drags that occur because of the above problem, but we can probably just throw those out because their magnitude will be much larger.

Unfortunately manual realigning is impossible if you are considering to work on a totally new area and perhaps inaccurate and error prone even if there are some earlier mapped features. I think I am going to stop using this extra zoom until it will be fixed or made unnecessary by scaling up the Yahoo imagery. Jukka - if you're working on a Mac, you can get OS X to do the zooming for you, it needs to be turned on (System Preferences - Universal Access, set Zoom to On, use the keyboard shortcuts it mentions). I believe there's similar things for windows and Linux too that might be able to help you.

After working a while with the new version I must say that I miss much more the Flash player zoom than I feel happy about having full screen. But perhaps other users are weighting full screen higher. -Jukka- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
