Since newbie users are best-served by iD, the best thing you, as an OSM contributor, can do to prevent mapping mistakes is to add Internet Explorer support to iD so that new users are always presented with that. And, of course, you're very welcome to submit patches to P2 to address any issues you perceive with it. Every editor has its pitfalls. iD has the unintentional selection of areas thing, JOSM has the too easy for people to make bulk edits thing, and so on. FWIW I noticed someone in #osm-gb earlier saying that they preferred P2 to other editors for route relations because it makes them more obvious, so your opinion is not necessarily universally shared.

[Potlatch-dev] P2 user check
[sent to potlatch-dev@ and rails-dev@, please trim follow-ups if appropriate] I've added a new embedding option to Potlatch 2 that can warn the user if they attempt to save a changeset which is mostly deletions. The option is selected like this: args[user_check] = warn; The value can be warn or prevent. If the former, the user is presented with a modal warning dialogue (select Yes or [default] Cancel) when trying to save a destructive changeset. If the latter, the dialogue only gives the Cancel option. Code is at https://github.com/systemed/potlatch2/commit/55b43b43be26dcb239624aff2898a332616bbb05 . rails-dev people might like to consider whether, for example, osm.org could set warn or even prevent on all users with fewer than 5 changesets. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

I am contemplating using snapshot-server with some extremely large datasets to make the data available to people using P2 and JOSM as vector layers. Great stuff. [...] I must admit I have not verified if this would require changes to P2. It's possible that P2 would work fine if snapshot-server returned negative IDs. I've not tested it but I'm 99% sure it would. Happy to test if you set up an instance somewhere which serves negative ids! 2. Data layer exposure. To add a snapshot-server data layer to P2 you have to deploy your own P2 instance. This severely limits exposure. What makes it worse is that if I offer a data layer and deploy P2 and someone else does the same, you can't use both at the same time. A way to add a snapshot-server layer by pointing it at a configuration file (e.g. a json file) would be very useful. Better yet would also be a way to reveal data layers like imagery layers are, based on bbox (or better yet, by polygon). Ok. You can already specify bboxes in vectors.xml in the same way that you do in imagery.xml. So I guess the problems to address are: 1. Make it easier for 'data providers' to make users aware of data layers 2. Provide easy UI for users to select data layers For 1; we could continue with vectors.xml, and also provide a way to provide a URL in the embedding page/query string (much as you can with background imagery). (It might be possible to do what JOSM does by putting the sources on a wiki page, rather than relying on a commit to the P2 repository, but I'm always a bit wary of people adding Google imagery etc. without us noticing. Any thoughts?)

The make junctions tool could also get an icon. But before we do that we really need to add a disclosure triangle below the top row, so that as standard the toolbox shows the important operations (delete, reverse, cut, join), and the less mainstream ones can be revealed on demand. Would address problems with newbies thinking the straighten way icon puts you in some mythical draw mode! b) Ideally I'd like to replace the start drawing a way from the centre node UI with a circle that follows the mouse, exactly like parallelise does.

Should be live on osm.org in the next few days. - Remove legacy Yahoo code - Refactor Importer code and allow local files (.gpx, .kml, .osm, shapefiles) to be loaded, including zipped - Cartography improvements - Move more components to Spark - P1-style history dialogue - Rework drag-and-drop UI - More parameters available for custom installs - Merged a bunch of Steve's recent work (thanks!) - Refactor dialogue boxes into dialogs/ directory - Lots of little bug-fixes and speed improvements cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

[Potlatch-dev] Flash Player minimum version
Hi all, (This is partly a follow-up to Andy's mail of a few weeks ago!) We had a few reports on help.osm.org of P2 not working (the drag-and-drop icons on the left weren't appearing) and narrowed it down to the users still having Flash Player 10.1 installed. We were only using one 10.2 feature - the native mouse cursors (my fault!). 10.1 is, however, the last version that'll work on OS X PowerPC. It's a small number of machines but not an insignificant one. Ok, I might admit an interest here as my boat Mac is a G5. ;) I've therefore added a version check to the custom cursor code. If the user is still on 10.1, it just won't set the cursors. I've tested it with both 10.1 and 10.3 players and it seems to work fine. Flex 4.5 nominally requires 10.2 but, for now, seems to degrade to 10.1 fine - the main change AIUI is tweaks to the text layout engine. It is however possible that some of the more advanced Spark components may use opcodes not present in 10.1. I suggest we stick with 10.1 until there's a compelling must switch reason to _require_ 11+. If there's any nice-to-haves, like the native cursor support, we can use the version check. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

[Potlatch-dev] Potlatch 2 stylesheet changes
Hi all,
The next version of Potlatch 2 will have a couple of major changes to
the MapCSS parser that you need to know about if you're writing custom
stylesheets. These are to bring it in line with other software that
understands MapCSS.
The changes are:
1. casing-width is now relative to the stroke width.
OLD: { width: 5; casing-width; 7; }
NEW: { width: 5; casing-width: 1; }
2. Separate strokes for the same way (or whatever) should now be given
distinct 'subpart' names, rather than relying on z-index to separate
them. Subparts are defined by appending '::name' to the selector.
OLD:
way[highway=primary] { color: red; width: 5; z-index: 2}
relation[type=route] way { color: blue; width: 7; z-index: 1}
NEW:
way[highway=primary] { color: red; width: 5; z-index: 2}
relation[type=route] way::routehighlight { color: blue; width: 7;
z-index: 1}
The code for this is in my refactor branch on github
(https://github.com/systemed/potlatch2/tree/refactor) should you want to
try it out. Before it goes live I'll make the changes to the bundled
styles; the Potlatch style is already mostly adapted.
cheers

2.1 is now live. It includes Ant's recent changes (thanks!) and a bunch
of other stuff. In brief:
- New Nominatim-powered Search box (click the magnifying glass icon)
- Yahoo component isn't loaded until you actually select Yahoo imagery
- Delete relation option (in the Relations actions menu in the
Advanced tag display)
- Load relation by ID
- New quadrilateral drawing tool: select a POI (one corner), shift-click
a blank area of the map (opposite corner), drag mouse up and down
(choose angle). Intended as a quick way to turn POIs into building areas
- And a bunch of small improvements
For those of you tracking the code: I've also started work on a new
branch ('refactor' at https://github.com/systemed/potlatch2) to form the
basis of a future version. This includes a huge bunch of under-the-hood
changes with two aims:
- Allow multiple Maps to be displayed in one P2 instance
- Bring VectorLayers and Connections together in the Connection classes
The code is in a very half-baked stage so far after just a day's coding,
though it is at least loading the map again. You can see more of the
progress in the REFACTOR.txt file

[Potlatch-dev] Reducing the amount of data P2 requests
I'd like to pick the brains of those of you who are better at maths, geometry etc. than I am (probably all of you). At present, P2 sends a /map request to the server every time it needs data for the current viewport. It does cache data (subject to not boggling Flash Player by keeping too much around), so if you return to a previously loaded area, it won't issue a /map call again. But if the user is in a densely mapped area, and pans (say) a couple of hundred metres northwest into an area not currently loaded, P2 will issue a /map call for the new viewport. It would be much better if it issued two smaller /map calls: one for the northern edge, one for the western edge. That way, the 90% of data already in memory wouldn't be rerequested. I'd love to code this but figuring out the maths is beyond me. So can anyone supply pseudo-code[1] that: - given a - an array of already loaded bboxes (each one being left, right, top, bottom) - given b - the bbox we now want to load - given n - a maximum number of /map calls to make (e.g. 3) - returns c - an array of no more than n bboxes, covering the areas within b which are not in a? cheers Richard [1] real code even better ;) ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

I put a trace(outerDocument.editedItemPosition) into line 53 of TagGrid.mxml. In normal operation, clicking 'X' would result in null in the Flash log; when it's stuck, it results in [Object object]. You can unstick it, very simply, by selecting a cell for editing. That sets editedItemPosition again properly and all is well with the world. So we're triggering a Flex bug of some sort. It may, perhaps, have something to do with bEditedItemPositionChanged not being set to true somewhere in DataGrid.as.

We're having a London-based hack weekend in a couple of weeks and I anticipate we'll move P2 over to git then. As for review process, I'd expect a lot of stuff will go in pretty much instantly, but large new features can sometimes need a bit more consideration. With complex code there's always a balance to be struck between TMTOWTDI and the P2 way; UI, too, can benefit from a second pair of eyes. Also, is there any possibility of hosting a bleeding-edge build, configured to work on the live OSM db? That way, if we develop a feature at someone's request, they can immediately get access to it, rather than having to wait for the next stable build. Something like http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=potlatch2-dev;... Great idea in general - though we don't need to do it on osm.org itself (and I'd expect that OSMF would be a little anxious about offering testing versions on the main server, though I wouldn't second-guess them). If several new features were being developed in parallel by different coders, we might also then have the challenge of deciding which one to deploy as the bleeding-edge build and it all starts again. ;) You can host an instance of P2 that'll talk to the live database anywhere (osm.org has a permissive crossdomain to facilitate this). It would be great to encourage this. I think the instructions on the wiki are reasonably good. For a while I was maintaining a bleeding-edge build at geowiki.com.

[Potlatch-dev] Codebase and git
In the near future it looks likely that P2 will become the default editor on osm.org.Consequently we need to move from the 'rapid development' stage to the 'mature code' stage, and enforce a bit more rigour in the codebase - with great power comes great responsibility and all that. :) In particular, two absolute, non-negotiable rules: 1. At any given moment, the main P2 codebase needs to be of a quality deployable on osm.org. 2. The main codebase must always compile without errors or warnings (using the recommended compiler setup). Rule 1 means, for example, no '?' icons and no partly-working functionality. If an order comes down from on high (OSMF) that P2 needs to be able to do this or P2 must stop doing this, we need to be able to react instantly, without spending time fixing up half-completed stuff or drawing icons until we have a deployable version once again. In conjunction with this, we will be moving from svn to git (as used for the core Rails port). This will allow people to hack on their own improvements in parallel until they're ready for integration into the main codebase. Andy will be posting a nice git tutorial to the list in readiness (he doesn't know this yet ;) ). To reiterate, this absolutely isn't meant to stop people working on cool new things, but rather to make sure that osm.org always has a stable, predictable editor. git should facilitate both of these: it's good news for all of us. To pave the way for P2 becoming the main editor, we need to freeze functionality for now. There's some cool stuff being committed, but right now, anything that is not either (a) fixing an existing P2 issue, or (b) bringing P2 up to feature parity with P1 (e.g. i18n and history/revert), is not an immediate priority. As it takes up time for others to learn and review, and may introduce new issues in itself, it could be a distraction from the pressing task - and we really shouldn't have to make this choice, which is why we're moving to git. r25368 should be the base for the functionality freeze. That's certainly not to say that we abandon the stuff that's been done since then, but we will separate it into the essentials (a and b above) and the enhancements (new functionality) as part of the move to git, and then move the new functionality into the core code as and when it's ready. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

[Potlatch-dev] CSS @import
Hi all, I've added support for CSS @import rules in stylesheets, so you can share common features between them (even nesting them if you like): @import pois.css; @import interactive.css; P2's MapCSS implementation is currently order-sensitive (i.e. some stuff, such as :drawn, will behave differently depending where in the file you put it) so the @import rules can go anywhere in the stylesheet, not just at the start. Internally, P2 sees the @import rule, loads the file requested, and pastes it 'in place'. In particular, it'd be great to use this so we could have two core stylesheets: a Standard one and an Enhanced one. Standard should be fast (i.e. avoid using dashes for cuttings, embankments etc.) and simple (don't highlight access restrictions or way direction). I'm very aware that P2 performance can be sluggish on some systems, particularly Linux, and don't want the bells-and-whistles to be displayed as standard. Enhanced would have all the lovely dashes and access and way direction that you like, and would be really useful for the experienced mapper to whom these things are crucial. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev

It seems to be a weird effect of using Flash's cacheAsBitmap property on the way sprites. I've backed out the change for the time being (r24638, not deployed yet) and will see if I can work out what's going on. Thanks for spotting. cheers Richard ___ Potlatch-dev mailing list Potlatch-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/potlatch-dev
