What OS are you running? A fellow UK mapper was recently unable to revert using windows, however the reversion worked for me running on fedora linux.

I hope to be able to implement many of these changes soon, but I have not been successful in using the JOSM Reverter plugin. The OSM Wiki states: "After installing the plugin and restarting JOSM, you should find a new menu item History -> Revert changeset." I have updated to the latest JOSM version (version 5608) and downloaded the plugin and restarted JOSM multiple times, but no History menu item appears. Subsequent attempts to download the reverter plugin yield a message that all plugins are up to date. I'm out of ideas on how to proceed. Does anybody have any advice? Try renaming your .josm application folder folder to force JOSM building a new one. If you need renaming that folder back to use JOSM, you may try doing as I did: call the Reverter to load the erased data in an empty layer, save that data in a .osm file, rename your folder back and load the .osm file in your usual config to continue. I have erased that file I was offering you and I can't predict the effect of my telling it to ignore the conflicts before saving. I suppose the conflicts raise again when trying to update OSM (cancel the update and open Windows>Conflict). Good luck, André.

They are a significant feature on the local landscape and of importance because of the degradation they are causing in the mangrove forest ecosystems in which they are located. I was much dismayed this past summer when all of these features were deleted from the OSM data base (changeset 11807195), with the comment "Deleting vandalism, those are not roads". Beside vandalism, the world (at large), is full of people telling what not to do instead of what to do, which is obviously shorter. On the British borderline (ways), you can read the note "admin_level shouldn't be 4". He dared not zap them, fortunately. ... 2) Is there a way to roll back these changes (with modifications you may suggest to the tagging scheme) so that I don't lose all of the work I have invested? If so, could you point me to some resources that will teach me how this can be accomplished?

As I have only reverted additions before and not deletions, I gave it a try. No panic, those JOSM guys tell you they're reverting the set but I knew they're only downloading the data in preparation for the real update (and if you tell them things like that what to do is not obvious or that they are frightening, they reply that all user interface "bugs" are closed with a WONTFIX). Well, it lasted almost 5 min, but I've seen your data (impressive to lose that, and indecent to zap !!!). There are conflicts (differences between the locally recovered and present OSM data for which you must decide which is right) and there is quite a number of ways drawn going off the map limit, possibly a consequence of node deletion. Well, just in case you will not use JOSM but you can use a .osm file, I saved that 1MB file and I can send it to you. Because I love shrimps too ;-) Cheers, Andr�. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
