[OSM-talk-be] 4th meeting STUK on 06 april 2011

[Jo]

Hallo Ben,

Het leuke aan het feit dat dit script nu in JOSM kan draaien, is dat het
mogelijk is om een edit box weer te geven waarin de oude situatie staat en
ook wat hij ervan wil maken. Als je op Cancel drukt, wordt er niks gewijzigd
en anders is het nog mogelijk om de voorgestelde naam te wijzigen voordat er
op OK gedrukt wordt.

Soms zit het script er dus inderdaad naast, maar dan kan er nog ingegrepen
worden.

Jo
