It depends of what are the id's in the osm file. You can always select the osm features and do a "Force Upload", which will make them "dirty" and allow you to upload them. Now, if the feature id's are positive, Merkaartor will assume those are osm id's (from an extract of some sort) and try to UPDATE the features (rather than add them), which is maybe not whay you want and will fail if the id are not in the database (or worse, exists but are not the same features; makes me think I should somehow check that...) If the id's are negative, Merkaartor will consider them as new features and properly add them to the osm database. If the id's are positive in your input file and not related to existing features, then the way you describe is the only one I can think of, as doing the paste actually creates new id's, which are properly ADDed to OSM. - Chris -
