Rule #1 of HCI: have sensible defaults. If you were just editing somewhere, and noticed something you missed, and go back and fix it, it should be in the same changeset, no? So, the default should be "don't close changesets" and "upload using a recent changeset that covers the same area". Defaults, not fixed policy. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
