[Talk-ca] Copying objects with relations between layers in josm

[Adam Dunn]

Silly me, I forgot to "reply all", and just did a "reply". Here's what I
said to James originally:
In josm, open the relation editor (the button icon has a gear cog)
In the relation editor, click the relation you want to copy.
At the bottom of the relation editor, click "set the current selection to
the list of selected relations" (the button icon is a mouse cursor inside a
square "marching ants" selection box)
Ctrl-c
switch layers
ctrl-v
You should have all the nodes, ways, and the relation connecting the ways
copied over.

Tyler: just attempted your method in Josm 3359, and it only copied over the
nodes and ways, but not the relation. This could be due to different josm
versions?
