Hi! >>> The upload auto generated comment is information that you can work >>> out any way from the changeset meta info.
I object to this, partially. The ADD:xx UPD:xx DEL:xx info is really useful. You can see the amount of edits at a glimpse. The bounding box however is not human readable (unless you *really* are a mapping freak ;-) I wouldn't miss it. > I'd recommend either using some major place name or leaving it > blank.

Otherwise the GeoDB names within the bounding box - or the closest one - could deliver the desired info. >>> It also doesn't remember the last string entered by the user. Right! If a user enters a comment, it should be retained. Maybe a number could be added on subsequent uploads. So IMHO there should be: * the auto-generated info by default * the user typed info (if user cared to provide some) * <usertext> ADD:xx UPD:xx DEL:xx * <usertext> #002 ADD:xx UPD:xx DEL:xx * <usertext> #003 ADD:xx UPD:xx DEL:xx ... * a button to restore the default behavior -- So long, Boris _______________________________________________ Merkaartor mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/merkaartor
