[josm-dev] Relation editor usability
Hi, I recently updated my josm (yes I know, I'm not updating very often, I'm a bad boy) and saw a small change in the relation editor which is a bit irritating. Until now, when I created a relation, I selected my objects then opened the relation editor, then clicked on the button moving them from the right panel to the left panel, then applied the roles when required. Now, I do the same but the order of the objects is changed in the left panel. Then my habit to select the objects in the order of roles to set is not working anymore. When I move the objects to the right panel, I don't see any more which role to set on which object. Am I the only one seeing here a usability downgrade ? why is the order of imported elements changing and on which criteria when these objects have no roles defined ?

Re: [josm-dev] Relation editor usability
Sorry if I am hijacking this thread, but on a related topic, I recently wanted to tag a landuse area. Instead of the old simple area tag, I was prompted to create a relation. The problem was I had no clue what sort of relation was being suggested, there was no link or other help. I searched the wiki and no joy. So I just aborted that and manually used the old type of tag. My suspicion is that the idea of a relation was to allow annular rings and the like, and that maybe roles like inner and outer were expected. But I had no way of checking. For someone new to josm, it would be even more confusing. So before new undocumented tags are introduced, there needs to be at least some minimal help or guidance. ael ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
