Hello Jakob,

thanks for the lightning fast reply and thanks for the hints. I'm sure
once all the tickets you have created are implemented we'll have a
powerful net editor!

Just some quick answers to your remarks.

Well, yes, technically connections can be visualized and edited in the
way it's implemented now. Still, I think it is useful if one can
actually see all possible connections within a junction at once (for
checking, deletion and maybe editing in the future).

OK, I checked this: The described problem only occurs if I give an
--output-prefix argument at command line. Without this,  saving works,
as expected.

Best would be if netedit copied the command-line --output-prefix (if
given) as default directory and filename in the "save plain xml" dialog.
The current version seems to use the directory from netfile path as
default directory, and does not suggest any filename.

OK, this ticket describes another good way of creating a roundabout:

My idea was:
- to manually edit a complete roundabout  (by modifying/creating
ordinary edges, possibly on a background map)
- to create the actual roundabout by selecting those edges which
constitute the roundabout.

In any case, it would be good to actually see some indication of
rounabouts. I'm sure it would brake dependencies of existing roundabouts
if I modified its edges. So it would be good to have some control on
what is going on with roundabouts.

An alternative approach is of course to detect all roundabouts
automatically once net editing is done.

OK, I agree that with the  sub-networks feature, such a wizard could be
emulated in a 2 Step process.


Thanks again for considering these issues. Will keep on testing and
suggesting...

Best wishes,
Joerg
