#4458: Ask for confirmation before deleting "unknown" nodes or relation members
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter: ajank | Owner: potlatch-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: potlatch2 | Version:
Keywords: unknown nodes, relations |
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
With the current Potlatch2 version, a novice user may easily consider a
"not recognised" node as junk and delete it. Such "not recognised" nodes
will always be present, since it is not possible for Potlatch to capture
every tag used. However, these nodes should be clearly distinguishable as
informative by novice users. I suggest Potlatch ask for confirmation
before deleting a node that has has any tags.
The question could read: "This node is not recognised by Potlatch, but it
holds some information, which could be displayed under the advanced
properties. Are you sure you want to delete it?".
The same applies to deleting any objects that are members of a relation. A
novice user may be completely unaware of the existence of relations.
He/she may find it easier to draw a new way/node and delete the old one,
instead of adjusting the old one, thus breaking the relations without any
notice.
Potlatch could ask: "This way[or node] is a member of a relation [here the
relation name, being a link to the 'Edit Relation' window]. Are you sure
you want to delete it?". The relation should be labelled like in the "Edit
Relation" window, with the respective icon.
