Dear JOSM Developers,
HOT is redeveloping our OSM Tasking Manager software and trying to
improve the osm data validation step in our process.
Of course JOSM is the preferred editor for OSM data validation so we
are really trying to get our process working best with JOSM first and
foremost.
I am not a programmer really so that could be the reason I can not
figure out the answer to my question.
But after reviewing:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/RemoteControlCommands
I can not figure out the answer to my question.
Via RemoteControl, can we create a new osm data layer, but not
download any osm data? We expect the person doing the validation to
download the data they need manually, but we do want to set them up
with a blank, empty osm data layer for that purpose.
The reason we want to do that is because we are passing in geometry of
the area that needs to be validated, but we want to put that data on
its own data layer with upload=never, then create a 2nd data layer
that is empty for them to download osm data to for validation.
Is this possible in some way?
It should be possible using the "import" command. (Create an empty
layer, save as "empty.osm" and make that file available for download on
your website.)
Best, Paul
