[Script] UrComments

At least to translate the displayed text in the main script (like settings, tool tips,…)

i was thinking about this also, we did not know if the script would work correctly in other areas. so i did go as far with converting it. once we have a bit of testing done i think we should set up a way to convert the text.

Feature request:
Additional option:

I often ‘scan’ an area by scrolling and handling URs as I come upon them.
It is nice to zoom in and see the UR area in detail, but after I handle the UR, I want to be back at the same zoom setting and see the same area that I saw before I opened the UR.
Currently, in order to do that while using this Great!!! extension, I need to open the UR in another tab, handle it, and then close that tab. This wastes time and resources. If UrC ‘remembered’ the current zoom and center before it zoomed in on the UR, and [optionally] restored it when the UR was closed, it would make life smoother for me.
Perhaps the feature is there already and I have just missed seeing it?

This would add an option:

Auto restore zoom and position to ‘pre-UR-open’ settings when closing the UR.

Thanks again for a very useful extension. I had been doing something similar using an AutoHotKey script, but Waze broke that, in a way I can’t fix easily, when they started moving things around the screen, with different buttons in different locations from one UR to another. :slight_smile:

I changed the way the script zooms out to work this way. I should be posting a new version in a day or so.

thanks i am glad people are finding the script useful!

It’s very useful. How would one go about editing the custom list? Does it need to be opened in a word processor, or some other program, or is it a text file to edit?

I don’t want to mess something up.

I edited mine by opening the javascript module in tamper monkey, selected the contents, copied them, pasted them into Notepad++ and saved as a text file with .js on the name (to let Notepad know it was in js format), then I went through and made the changes I wanted, and did a copy/paste onto the opened script in tamper monkey and did a save. When I reloaded the WME window, the changes showed up.

I am sure I could have just made the changes directly in tamper monkey, or operated on a saved copy of the .js file with any text editor, but I wanted to have an editor I was familiar with to do my editing.

Hope that helps.

Install and edit this file directly if you wish to use your own comments.
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/6236-wme-ur-comments-custom-list/
then choose custom under settings

as long as this was in the custom file you will be ok. if you did this to the main script it will be overwritten the next time i update, or you will not get updates.

One suggestion: On the stock response to Turn Not Allowed reports, add something along the lines of “And why?” I find more often then not the turn the person is complaining about can be determined with some accuracy, but why the person thought the turn is not allowed is not.

i will relay your suggestion, thanks!

I wasn’t aware that there is a separate thread to discuss the URComment.

Below is a post I made in the WME Beta forum and I think it is more appropriate to discuss it here. Please take a look and provide your feedback.

SUGGESTION: I just noticed something that is fundamentally missing from the new UR Comment Tool.
Once a UR is marked by an editor as “Solved” or “Not identified” it shows the comment tool with the following information:

Closed on: [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR]
by USERNAME

It doesn’t provide the information if the UR was marked as “Solved” or “Not identified”.

I think it should provide that information possibly in the following format:

Marked as [Solved/Not identified] on: [MONTH] [DAY], [YEAR]
by USERNAME.

I hope this make sense to others too.

Cheers,
HM.

Just to be clear this thread is discussing the user created script named UrComments (in case you didn’t already know that :wink: )

UrComments is a script i wrote to help reply to UR trough the entire UR process and not the new UR window. I do some adjusting to the new UR window so it fits the screen but i have not added or removed information to / from this window. I am in hope that Waze changes this window on their own and i can remove the part of the script that redraws the UR window.

you might want to direct your suggestion waze.

feel free to try this script, all of the information is in the first post.

Apology for the confusion. I will move the discussion back to the Beta area and sorry for the intrusion to your Script discussion.
I will give it a spin.

Cheers,
HM.

Warning once you try you may never be able to handle URs without it again[emoji1]

Thinking about this more, since the UR window is the same on the production editor as the beta i don’t know if the beta forum is the right place either.

The information you are looking for is still being saved. i noticed that i can use URO+ to hide URs that are either solved or not identified.

When Chrome loads the editor it displays the following error message from URComments:

What should I do with this?

HuckD

Everything in production started in beta, beta is still the best place for it, that’s where changes can be implemented.

update to the the latest version and this should not happen on startup. you were only getting that message when UrComments beat URO loading.

One other suggestion, at the end of the “Errors With No Text”, let’s include a small sentence reminding reporters to reply via the app. I’d hate to think how many replies we’ve had lost to the void because someone starts typing out a reply to us as an E-MAIL reply, hits send, gets the delivery failure notification, then just gives up on the UR process entirely.

I know something like this has to be going on because I see some of the same URs pop up over and over, they’re trying to reach out for a solution, but just can’t figure out how to get back to us.

we tried that with the 4 day reminder instructions, we immediately started getting complaints from drivers that they do not get the messages on their app. We also tried instructing them to click the link waze gives them in the email, last time i checked that link went to the map with the UR layer turned off and did not open the ur directly. refer to this for an example https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/User:Rickzabel/User_Reply_Instructions

last night i came up with a way to generate URLs that go directly to the UR with the window open. but have not had a chance to discuss with the team the idea of sending our own links with the initial comment much in the same way the 4 day reminder works. i also want to update the link i use for the reminder to open the UR and the text that goes along with it.
