[josm-dev] Can I style by user in mappaint?

[Jiri Klement]

I think it would be nice to use search patterns in mappaint. The style
information is cached in OsmPrimitive so it shouldn't have impact on
overall performance.  And there are probably other usecases when
key=value matching is not sufficient.

Actually I was planning to do some prototype to see if performance
really isn't a problem and then ask here if it is really a good idea
to switch to search patterns. But when avar brought it up, we can
start the discussion now. So are there any other usecases when search
patterns would be usefull in mappaint or any objections agains search
patterns?
