[josm-dev] Duplicated icons for presets and mappaint

[Christoph Eckert]

Hi,

I just copied over some icons from mappaint to the "presets" directory 
yesterday. I mainly did this as I need icons with a transparent background 
for menus (at least those look much better IMO), while mappaint icons need a 
background colour, due to the (customizable) default black background in the 
JOSM viewport.

OSM2Go[1], an OSM editor for the Nokia N810, meanwhile has adopted the JOSM 
presets file format. It expects all preset icons in the folder "presets". If 
anyone is working on the presets, I'd like to ask to keep the icons in this 
directory as well, just to avoid duplicated efforts.

I know the current icon handling is more than suboptimal. In the optimum case, 
we maintained SVG icons only and derived the various bitmap icons for presets 
and mappaint automatically during build time. Until then, we have to cope 
with the current limitations.

Best regards,

ce
