Yes, but due to the bad interface for conflict resolution in JOSM this isn't an option sometimes. There isn't support for mass-resolution of similar conflicts (I've filed bugs for this) so you run into situations where you can either: * Solve 300 conflicts which are of the same nature manually. Which requires for each one: 1. Click on an item in the conflict list 2. Move to tags/whatever in the dialog 3. Click merge your/remote changes 4. Apply 5 Repeat After I'm done with that I'll have manually clicked UI elements at least 300*4 times or so. So instead of doing that when I run into it I just cut my losses and try to upload at least /some/ of my data. I do this by turning on single-object upload, trying to select subsets of the dataset and see if I can upload them without conflicts. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
