I've just gone back through my mail, and I have nothing with your name on it about these changes, unless it is buried in something with an unrelated subject heading. They just appeared. I only updated Friday after a long period of using an older version in the mid 900s(*). We've had lots of suggestions over the last couple of years about ways to restructure the interaction and modifiers, reduce dependence on modes and so on. I think some discussion might have been in order before anything fairly fundamental like this was changed. My feeling is that it should be possible to have a switchable interaction style so you can choose your favourite, or we can come to a consensus on which works best by developing new ones or variations without upsetting the status quo until there is a broad agreement. Anyway, it's done now. I guess we'll get used to it. David (*) by the way, older JOSMs no longer display the message of the day apparently, which was partly the point of having them - that people with older versions get to know about mandatory and optional changes in later versions they don't have, not jsut what's new in the version you *do* have. Also it broke my paint colors until I realised I had to remove my custom mappaint XML reference from the days when I had a plugin. That took ages to track down. That'll teach me to keep up with the cutting edge. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
