[josm-dev] Two new features for UtilsPlugin2

[Martin Ždila]

Hello

I've implemented two new features to UtilsPlugin2. May I commit it to SVN? I
still need to later draw some icons for it.

Feature One: Unselect Nodes - removes all selected nodes from the selection.
This feature is very useful if I want to tag multiple ways but no nodes. By
selecting object with rectangle it also selects the nodes. Then I can
unselect them by this feature.

Feature Two: Add Parents To Selection - add "parents" of already selected
objects to selection:
parent(node) = its parent ways and parent relations and all members of the
relations
parent(way) = its parent ways and parent relations and all members of the
relations

This feature is useful if I need to copy object selected with rectangle
selection but also with relations.

You can download if from
http://www.edisk.eu/en/download/81628/utilsplugin2.jar_36.93KB.html so you
can try it and send me your feedback.

Next, all selection related actions could go to extra submenu "Selection",
or under "Edit" menu under one region:
- Select All
- Unselect All
- Select Way Nodes
- Unselect Nodes
- Add Parents To Selection

What is your opinion about this?

Thanks in advance

PS: I am also author of the SimplifyArea plugin (that is superior to the
current Simplify Way action) and I am trying to push it to JOSM core. But
maybe this should go to the UtilsPlugin2, or left as separated plugin as it
is now.
