[Script] Highlights for Segments & Landmarks - v1.5 Nov 16

[CBenson]

What do you think about adding a color option for null nodes (nodes joining two segments that are identical in type, direction, state and city with no real intersection)?

While these are superfluous nodes, they don't really affect routing and so don't need to be deleted.

Are we sure about this? There seems to be some evidence to the contrary.

Can this script add highlights for red segments (a new road recorded via client) - more bright or fat color? It would make appreciable such segments of big scales on the maps

Do you have v1.1? That already makes them bold and red. Do you want them more bright or fat?

Yes, I already install v1.1
Now the transparent pale red of this road is imperceptible on the real red color. I want more bright and fat

I tend to opt for the solid red vs the translucent

I've noticed a 'bug' in that when this is installed, the save and delete buttons no longer ungrey when they are able to be pressed.

What browser, version and OS are you on? This was never reported during testing.

On a related note, it appears that sometimes the buttons and search bar are disabled sometimes after initial login to the editor. Usually, a permalink click solves the issue. Could you verify whether clicking permalink does or does not make this problem go away?

I had the same issue. I was away from the computer for a while and needed to log in again when I returned to WME. After logging in the buttons wouldn't ungrey. Also, the Advanced options weren't in the highlights tabs. This was on FF14.0.1 with Highlights 1.1.0 running in Vista 64bit.

Reloading the page fixed it all.

I tested logging out of the editor and logging back in with the highlights script enabled and disable and I feel that it is 100% reproducible that with the highlights script enabled and being logged out of the editor, causes the Toolbar to remain inactive after logging in until after clicking on or loading a permalink.

I've seen this too. Not sure how or why, but I'll look into it...

I figured you had. I can't logically deduce what could be happening, but something clearly is done differently when not logged in that the script gets in the way of, perhaps by causing some kind of error which prevents the enabling of the toolbar...

Looks like it's not allowing the icons to refresh.

Also there are many instances in loops where you need the extra junction, but I guess the script could ignore junctions with segments that meet at both ends.

Hi Tim,
Thank you VERY much for such a useful script. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work in Safari (even with NinjaKit, the Greasemonkey replacement for Safari) it didn't run. So I set about learning Safari Extensions, and adapted your work as an Extension that works natively in Safari. It can be downloaded here: https://github.com/mikebronner/WME-Color-Highlights.
I gave you full credit, of course, as you did all the heavy lifting. As a Mac user, I have come to prefer Safari over other browsers, and wanted to see it work there too. Please let me know if this is OK with you -- if not, I'll be happy to take it down, or alter it in such a way that would accommodate any changes you request.

Thanks!
~Mike

Super cool mike! I tried to convert it to a native safari extension and couldn't figure it out. I need a tutorial!
