Hi,

I have experienced the following situation several times:

I download my home village and edit something. Then a place comes to my
mind, which lays outside of the downloaded bounding box. So I go to the
slippy map, scroll to that location, copy the permalink to the download
dialog and download the bounding box containing the above mentioned
place -> nerve-wracking :)

To make this process easier, I wrote a plugin, which downloads the data
of the current visible bounding box. You can scroll to the desired place
and then start the plugin.

Have a look at the attached archive. (Is attaching of small files ok for
this maling list ?)

Regards,
Henrik

P.S. I didn't pay attention to I18N and maybe there is a better place to
anchor the plugin in the gui. At the moment it appears in the main menu.
