This is a very useful feature, when I've needed this in the past I've resorted to manually hacking up a .osm file and loading it into JOSM. > I always thought that we might one day have something like a "data view" > where the data is presented not on a map but in a kind of spreadsheet. > This would of course have been a cooler way to add the desired > functionality - want a new node, just create a new row on the "nodes" > sheet!

Previously I've done this by saving the .osm file, editing it manually with a text editor and loading it back in again. But what I really wanted was a way to edit lat/long in the same way I edit key/value pairs via the "Properties for selected objects" menu. I suspect this also won't take two days to implement, so if the code fairy is interested ... :) _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
