New Editor version v2.77-5

Map Editors Community WME Production Version Releases
1

Hi Everyone,

Hope you’re all doing well.

A new WME Version has been released:

  • UR with longer comments seems to cut off buttons at bottom - FIXED - Community bug : 182388997
    Forum post

  • MapComment title or text lost after modifying MC on map - FIXED - Community bug: 181336794
    Forum post

  • Closures:support duplicating closures on nodes on repeat next day closure- ENABLED

Edit: this issue is still not fixed completely: * HN edit mode interferes with updating Editable Areas layer. Community bug: 167164440 Forum post

  • Segment id is not selectable and can’t be copied- FIXED

  • Community suggestion: change opacity of AM layers (We know the opacity is still not ideal and we are working on it internally)

  • Community suggestion: Auto Populate lock level for “request an unlock” for share on waze forum + Change (temporary) of word ‘segments’ to ‘objects’- (Please note the word objects is temporary and the idea is to auto-populate it with the correct object for example segment, venue, etc in the near future)

* Nodes inside a Junction Box are now draggable!- ENABLED

:arrow: Friendly reminder to all our ROW editors to check this post.

:arrow: Last but not least, please keep adding your WME suggestions and improvements in uservoice.

Thank you ,
Maia

The editable area issue remains when outside of HN mode. If I enable HN mode then disable it and then scroll, the editable area does not update and the MAGIC script shows issues with the roads. I have replicated this issue with all scripts turned off.

Also, I am unable to create a new MTE.

For unlock requests, better title formatting would really help editors going through the requests to see at a glance the current lock level of the segment, and adding the name of the segment helps differentiate between multiple requests from the same editor in the same city. I would recommend this format:
Level 4 unlock in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Main St)
Also if the segment doesn’t have a city name, there shouldn’t be a comma before the state:
Level 4 unlock in Manitoba (Hwy 9)

About the feature “request an unlock” from WME to the forum

Currently, there is no way for the requesting editor to know that someone lowered the lock, neither the lowering editor to know that the issue was corrected and that lock can be raised again.
Additionally, the only way to engage communication with the editor (and have him notified) is sending a PM. Replies in the thread may never be seen.

Is there any way to implement bidirectional communication here?

Don’t users get emailed by default when someone replies to their topic?

7

Isn’t the forum a bidirectional communication? Albeit a slow method.
I have not seen any issue. Since the implementation of the “request an unlock” feature, we have been getting tons of unlock request and I would say that I have the vast majority of the time I probably received responses when I request more information.

Thank you for the report. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

G_W1Z, could you please detail the steps you are taking and the issue you encounter?

Thanks in advance,

Maia

You are indeed right G_W1Z, the issue was not completely fixed. My apologies.

I added it to the original post.

This is a great suggestion!

May I ask you to add it to uservoice so we can look into it?

Thank you,

I tried making a test MTE and it is now working again. Please disregard. Thanks.

Here was my similar request that I made in March where it was partially implemented (adding the segment level to the request)
https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/43000929-change-formatting-of-forum-sharing-options

I love the addition of the segment name. I wish I would have included that originally.

Don’t really know in this case, being an automated message

Yes it is, but at least in the Portuguese forum, we have dozens of unlock request and only of them replied in the topic after the unlock. Using WME don’t mean that the user reads the forum.
If no other community feels the same, it can be an issue only to us PT, probably related to our dependence on Slack for this king of requests…

Thanks for the feedback, Harmonious4 and John

I am double checking if indeed the users that ask for an unlock of any time receive an email when there’s an answer in their thread without subscribing to the thread.

Hi Everyone,

since about a week there are no more Edits-Update in the ROW-Server (especially Germany).
But the Points update seems to be not affected, they are updated daily.
Is there already something known?

Update 05/25/2021: Fixed

Regards
Christoph

I don’t think it’s isolated to PT at all - the situation in the USA is similar, with far more communication happening in Discord chat than in the forum, since it’s a much faster two-way communication and seems to do better at reaching the right audience sooner. Where the chat tools like Slack or Discord are configurable to give you an appropriate notification/sound, and most email clients can’t do that selectively (so that you can get notified about relevant unlocks, without getting the same kind of notification for every email you receive), it tends to serve this kind of need better, unless/until the forum can offer better notification options than simply an email.

That said, I’d rather have an editor send an unlock to the forum, where we’ll eventually see it and be able to help them, so we can then let them know that it may be faster to use the local community’s chat tool, and get them involved in those conversations directly.
