Actually those confirmation dialogues are a bit annoying (if I imagine someone cleaning big aeras of TIGER-data), but what about a keyboard shortcut (preferably with modifier like "shift" or "ctrl") instead of an Icon? For mappers aware of what they are doing it's completely OK to use this functions in a responsible manner. Actually I wasn't aware myself that it just straightens (thought it would simplify, blame on me). Maybe there could be added the word "straighten" to the function name "tidy points" in some way. In my area (and probably not only here) there's lots of registrees that actually haven't performed a single edit, and other's that think potlatch is an online painting programm (drawing motorways wildly across the city-center) when you write to them, they apologize and say they didn't know they were actually modifying the public database, so my concern is more about people incidently harming data, not about "real vandalism". anyway: have a nice holiday! cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
