Fine. I'm really not going to attempt and convince anyone here - one has to be a bit of a pig-headed UI fascist to develop stuff like this, otherwise you end up with design by committee which just doesn't work. I think it's good that we offer editors that work in different ways; that there is more than one answer to the questions of "how's stuff written to the db and how do I avoid causing damage", although Potlatch doesn't adequately answer those questions yet; and that those who are arguing for a "save" button are trying to impose a model which doesn't suit Potlatch. You and Frederik and doubtless others disagree - as shown by the fact that you find something "painful" while I actively prefer it. That's fine, there's no monopoly on editors. I don't feel it's impossible to have a usable editor that doesn't work on the "prepare and commit" principle, and that's what I'm concentrating on building. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
