[josm-dev] ImportImage

Hi,

    is anyone using the ImportImage plugin? I recently did some work on 
it for a client and found a lot of bugs, like where they got their X and 
Y axes mixed up and so on. I fixed them and now things work ok for my 
client but in my eyes the plugin was *so* broken that it could not 
possibly have worked except in a very limited number of use cases.

So before I check in my fixes (and possibly break it for everyone who 
had somehow adapted to its brokenness), I would like to ask for some 
real-world test cases so I can make sure that what I check in is really 
an improvement ;)

BTW, regarding reprojections - I note that ImportImage contains a 
whopping 9 MB of libraries to deal with re-projecting images. This makes 
me think that (a) full reprojection support will never be in JOSM core 
because that would triple the size of the download; and (b) if we make a 
generic reprojection plugin it would be cool to have ImportImage depend 
on that somehow rather than adding all the libs a second time.

Bye
Frederik
