I cannot see any difference between open ind import, except that the set of accepted file formats is slightly different. Opening and importing GPX files has the same effect. Opening and importing OSM files has the same effect. MDC and JPG files can only be opened. Do we need an Import command at all? -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[email protected]> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de _______________________________________________ Merkaartor mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/merkaartor
