Re: [josm-dev] Sticky Tags Feature
Ian Dees writes: Hi JOSM Devs, I'd like to implement a feature in JOSM that applies the tags from the clipboard to every new way or node created. I think this would be useful for creating powerlines (apply power=tower to every new node in the way) or for a set of buildings along a street (addr:street=* to every new building). Does anyone have any ideas for how the interface for this might work? Maybe a menu with toggles in it? Perhaps you could select one of the presets to be default? Have a checkbox in the preset dialog which says Apply this preset automatically. When you create a new node/way/relation, if the default preset is not unsuitable, apply its values to the new item just as if the user had clicked Apply Preset while not selecting anything in the dialog. At the end of the Presets drop-down menu could be a Default Preset which would pop up the preset whose checkbox is currently selected. Would ordinarily be greyed out if nothing had been checked. Only thing wrong I see with this is that you have to create a new preset if no existing preset will set the attributes you want. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

Does anyone have any ideas for how the interface for this might work? Maybe a menu with toggles in it? We had one suggestion by a user that goes slightly in this direction: On the main map you would have a certain area (clipboard). You could copy or drag objects onto this area, the important idea is, that it stays fixed regardless how you scroll or zoom the map. In combination with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Shift-V (paste tags) you would have easy access to often used tags and geometries. Maybe there would be a way to mark objects in the clipboard as auto apply, i.e. all it's tags are sticky tags.

Hi, I'd like to implement a feature in JOSM that applies the tags from the clipboard to every new way or node created. I think this would be useful for creating powerlines (apply power=tower to every new node in the way) or for a set of buildings along a street (addr:street=* to every new building). A graphics program i used to use, maybe it was dia?, worked like this: whenever an object was selected and you changed properties, you were changing the properties of that object. When no object was selected, you were changing the default properties for new objects.

Maybe put it in a different color or font to let them know that they're setting a different kind of property? -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
