This is another Potlatch grumble - but it's not really Potlatch, it's
the internet.<br>
<br>
I just found a whole lot (really, a lot) of overlapping ways with some
really old data (Potlatch alpha & before) buried under new versions
from Potlatch v0.6a & 0.8 - for instance, the M25 Junction 30 had 3
(three!!) layers of roundabout in places. 2 hours has seen most of it
off... I wonder how much of other peoples' time I just deleted?<br>
<br>
I can't imagine this was done knowingly; I suspect that the redraw was
sufficiently slow that it looked unmapped to a less experienced user,
and allowed time to re-draw the ways before it showed up.<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to make it draw ways & nodes BEFORE the aerial
photography, so this <strike>can't happen</strike> is less likely? I
had assumed that having to move from the map to the editor would
prevent this, but I think folk are scrolling miles & never seeing
the rendered version. Maybe a slippy map under the photography? Or make
it impossible to add any nodes until it's completely finished loading?<br>
<br>
I also had a good number of "High Road; Low Road" names to untangle,
and a river to unplait. I do hope it stays done this time :)<br>
