[OSM-talk] New Potlatch feature to aid remapping
Hi all, I've added a small feature to Potlatch 2 which should be generally useful but will particularly help in remapping. When you've selected a way, you can now add intermediate points just by shift-clicking a blank area. P2 will work out where to put the node in the way, and do it. Exactly like shift-clicking the way to insert a node then dragging it, but quicker. (It's a bit like JOSM's ImproveWayAccuracy feature, I think.) You can also incorporate existing nodes by shift-clicking them. This is useful for those times when a bunch of orphan nodes are hanging around, but the way itself has been straightened. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] New Potlatch
Hello Richard, many thanks for providing potlatch. I've a question regarding the translation of potlatch messages. According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Template:Potlatch/Translation translated messages should be integrated automatically when a new version appears. However, when I start (on Linux), say, firefox under a Brazilian Portuguese locale by LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 firefox the program itself uses Brazilian Portuguese messages but Potlatch does not, in spite of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pt-br:Potlatch/Translation being available for some time now. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help! Ulf On Fri, 2008-09-26 at 15:43 +0100, Richard Fairhurst wrote: Potlatch 0.10c is now on the server (thanks Tom!). Changes include: - little floating alerts that go beep! - locked nodes (typically after importing a GPX with waypoints) show up red - performance improvements - some smashing new secret keypresses because Potlatch doesn't have enough: K to lock/unlock a way or node M to maximise/minimise the SWF window S to add a source= tag based on the current background (Yahoo/ NPE) - duplicate node bug fixed (see talk passim) - and various other bugfixes cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- Ulf Mehlig[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Am I missing something? Flash seems to pick up the language from the LANG environment. So: LANG=lolcat.UTF-8 firefox works just fine for me. The other problem seems to be that potlatch is expecting a direct match on pt-br, and it doesn't understand pt_BR So: LANG=pt-br.UTF-8 firefox works for potlatch, but obviously not for firefox. This can be part fixed by changing the name of the wiki page to use an underscore, but the script that pulls them in [1] needs fixing too as it normalises the languages to lowercase, which for regional variations is wrong.

Am I missing something? Ah - I think I see what's happening. system.capabilities.language in ActionScript expects pt-BR, but it's being fetched from the wiki as pt-br (lower case), possibly due to Mediawiki's strange capitalisation rules. I'll adapt the localisation script and let you know if it works. Sorry for the hassle. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Heh, you can't please all the people all the time - the easier-to-click ways/nodes were a feature request from a user too. I guess it depends whether you use Yahoo or not. I've now added a preference so that you can turn them off. It's in the usual place in the options dialogue (the 'tick' at the bottom).

0.8c is one of those little things that mean a lot updates: - When you add a point into a way where it crosses another way, Potlatch automatically makes an intersection. - Points and ways are now bigger at high zoom levels for those people without superhuman fine motor skills. (But you can turn this off using a new preference.) - Double-clicking to end a line doesn't restart the line if you've already clicked. - Click/drag detection is much improved. And in some related news, the Gnash (GNU Flash Player) devs - in particular Sandro 'strk' Santilli - are doing really well in improving Gnash to work with Potlatch. strk has even become an OSM mapper which can't be bad. :) It's going to be interesting to see how Adobe's removal of licensing restrictions on SWF, just announced, benefits Gnash. Will post more on Potlatch in a minute. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

richard, i see you've rolled out some changes as part of potlatch 0.8c, including huge thick ways...could you roll them back please? they're very obtrusive and obscure a lot of the yahoo imagery underneath. i'm finding it very difficult to accurately place ways on the centre of roads, amongst other things thanks rob ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
