It's great to have automatic selection of a certain options, but I just feel that the presets is just an added feature and we can actually make do without it?

Not sure what you're getting at here. If you don't need the presets, don't use them. I find them immensely useful – before UrComments I basically never used URO filters because there was too much to deal with.

I really wish there were an option to completely disable the minimap, rather than just hide it.
I've never found it useful while in WME, it just took up additional valuable screen real estate, and it messed with the default position of Livemap... particularly irritating if I had followed a PL from the forum to a different area.

Just put it in the top left when you disable it.

I thank Rick for this tool, I use it in conjunction with my detective skills and fix the map.

I totally agree. Each UR should be investigated before any response is sent, as some can be fixed right off. And if not, you can often ask a specific question that may save some back and forth with the reporter. Automatically sending a canned response without even looking first is not a good editing skill, IMO.

This is absolutely, 100% correct. Indeed, and unfortunately, URC makes it easier to ignore the UR itself and send a canned response without investigation. I have seen this in my area for sure. Frustrating to come upon such a UR after the first canned response has been sent, and have to say to the editor, "Look man, you could have fixed this yesterday without even asking a question." Not faulting the tool, as this is not usually the case, but it is still something that we need to be mindful of.

I don't always close it immediately, unless they described the problem too and it was 100% clear what it was and that it was fixed.

In your case, a canned response still doesn't really help. A canned response will surely not elicit as helpful a response as "I disabled the left turn from southbound SR-123 to Booboo Rd, is that the one that you reported? Let me know." would.

rickzable, you are my hero!

+1!!! could not have said it any better

How do we specify which is the INITIAL (first) message to be sent to an UR?

In the custom list I only see Reminder and NotIdentified...

Thanks.

The (Double Click) option seems to be gone entirely now...

Oh, it's been so long since I had to deal with it, I forgot it was controlled via a setting. Thanks for reminding me about that, PesachZ. I recently had to recover my harddrive after a major "oops," and discovered (the hard way) that my backup software had been set to exclude the "User Data" directory under the Chrome tree part of my Windows user profile. So while Chrome sync made sure that all my addons got re-installed, there was no way for it to recover settings. I've been reconfiguring all my addons (Waze and otherwise) for the last couple of days as I've run into things that weren't working "right." I didn't even notice the "Settings" sub-tab under the UrComments tab.

So, it's back and working as expected. Thanks for the nudge.

Good job on the quick update!

One thing I'd like to request though - could you make it a bit less "noisy" about informing me that its UR filtering is turned off because I'm using URO+ filters? If I'm panning around the screen and move from an area where URs weren't into an area where URs are, I get the big yellow announcement at the top of the screen again. Kinda distracting.

For that matter, maybe you could add a check so that it doesn't announce it if you've already manually turned it off under UR Filters? I've got that all unchecked because I prefer the URO+ filters, so since I've turned off URC UR Filters there, it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep announcing that they've been disabled due to URO+, etc. Just a thought, anyway.

Thanks again for the useful tool!
