Could this be fixed quickly? trac called, it wants its job back. It is really really really unhelpful to bring up every little thing on the mailing lists rather than the proper bug-tracking system. Please don't. It doesn't mean your alleged bug gets fixed quicker - quite the opposite; it's impossible to keep track of what people want if it's scattered over 257 mailing lists. If you open Potlatch, select Nearmap in the menu, and press 'B' to add the source, it tags it as source=nearmap. I have just tested it. It works. It hasn't changed. Indeed, Potlatch 1 hasn't changed at all since 8th April generally because I (and others) have been concentrating on Potlatch 2. You can also give Potlatch a custom URL for aerial imagery, either using the dialogue box or by appending &tileurl= to the ?edit... link. Potlatch's custom URL format uses three !s to signify z, x and y parameters respectively. If you have chosen such a custom URL, Potlatch obviously doesn't know what source tag it should use when you press B, so it will just use the custom URL format. My guess is that you followed a link with &tileurl=whathaveyou.
