[OSM-dev] OSM export incompatibilities between JOSM and Merkaartor

[Chris Browet]

Hi Frederik,

in http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1163, a user complains rightfully
that the OSM exports from JOSM and Merkaartor are incompatibles, due to the
fact that JOSM is using pure numeric IDs while Merkaartor is using text GUID
for not-yet-uploaded objects.

We could easily resolve the problem by accepting each other formats, don't
you think?

I'll internally generate Merkaartor IDs if I detect JOSM IDs.
Could you please tell me what is the "flag" to detect not-yet-uploaded in
your pattern?

Maybe you could do the same in JOSM if you have text ID's starting with "{"?

Thanks
