As an ID editor user I thought of an improvement to it overnight wrt Tiger data. I submitted a feature request. Just thought that something like this might be useful within other editors too (if your workflow is like mine). I was inspired by the Tiger reviewed=no discussion and my desire to tame the tiger. I was concerned about effort (to find a bunch of ways to delete the tag that I have just recently edited enough to remove the tag, but didn't remove the tags) to switch back and forth between OT and ID. Text of my request:
*Use case: I am systematically updating a long highway or extended bike route consisting of many ways, and for each new way (segment) that I touch, I want to be warned in the editor that the way meets certain criteria that I select (such as tiger:reviewed=no). As in overpass-turbo, I would be allowed to type in the query. If the particular way I am now touching some distinctive message or visual indicator would appear informing me that the way meets the criteria.* *Value to me: I can systematically walk the extended route and whenever a specific way meets the criteria I specify I am notified and I can address it.* *The visual indicator could be something like: the selected item blinks if the criteria is [sic] met. Or, a message pops up in the editing window (left pane) that tells me the criteria are met. (Similar to the notifications that I should consider a tunnel or bridge when I am on a way that crosses a river).* *I can imagine using many different criteria just as I would in overpass-turbo. I might be interested in criteria for buildings. So ways, areas, points might all have some sort of criteria filter. (Cool if you could allow me to set 3 different criteria). But not neccessary [sic].* *Like overpass-turbo allowing a complex query expression with wildcards would be nice too.* *For now a simple query for the specific item touched would be simple and adequate.* On Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 6:03 AM <talk-us-requ...@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Send Talk-us mailing list submissions to > talk-us@openstreetmap.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-us-requ...@openstreetmap.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-us-ow...@openstreetmap.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk-us digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
