Used to be able to do this in Cartouche too. Bringing back all the old functions.

Unfortunately was not around then. Did Cartouche offer this?

Nope, that’s new and cool. You know what else you can add to the Places? Lat/lon of each vertex, maybe on hover only? But selectable/copyable.

Maybe as an option after, but it won’t make it into the 1.5.7 release. We’re currently testing a release candidate. What is the value in having every lat/lon display?

Creating a place for a user who doesn’t have rights to save the Place. They can send the coords via PM, email, in chat, etc. (Fairly limited use perhaps. Maybe ‘just because we can!’ )

Another teaser:

It’s gonna be on the toolbar instead of a tab…?

[AlanOfTheBerg]

Request: kind of a mass-update tool, but can’t be used for mass-points. That is, when in House Number mode, with a selected street, the ability to nudge all the displayed house numbers so that they will be preferred by search over other providers. As it is now, a long residential street with 100 numbers takes real long to update manually. No matter how many HNs you move, you get only one edit credit. But being able to nudge them all at once would be very helpful. Only nudge ones which aren’t already showing as updated by an editor.

No, the tab stays. The important stuff like the changelog has to go somewhere…

As much as the notion of a mass-nudge tool makes me slightly queasy, I will say there have definitely been times I’ve wished for it.

A related wish is a highlight, within the HN window, for which HNs are nudged/un-nudged, so that you don’t have to click on each one to learn if it’s been touched.

Going one step futher, a variation on the highlighting which currently shows segments with HNs, could show segments containing un-nudged HNs.

And another BIG THANKS for the impending measurement tool(s?).

Feature Request… Allow clear geometry feature to work on Area Places as well. I just attempted to fix a hospital in Pittsburgh that has so many geometry nodes it took 5 minutes to clear all of them. Perhaps clearing allows for size of the area to remain the same but only 4 geometry nodes to form a square?

Does such a tool exist yet?

I think those belong as part of WMECH. I already posted the request for the HN highlight today.

Just light segment simplification, the same basic idea applies to area simplification. Brian G wrote both as bookmarklets a long time ago.

Good point, thanks! I was on a roll…
