[josm-dev] AlignWayS

[Attila Szász]

Hi Sebastian,

Well, you have definitely noticed that I experimented with user input as I
tried to not impose a strict order of selections. The orthogonalizer tool
hint is definitely worth a good consideration as I am not keen to propagate
unusual user interaction: the closer to the JOSM standard the easier for
everyone I reckon.

As you mention GIMP: what tool would do you recommend for proper icon
designing? I used Inkscape to design mine - which is btw a very good
vectorial graphics tool - but I found it quite difficult to render good
quality 24x24 icons from the original ones. Probably there are good methods
in there but I don't know them. :)
