[OSM-talk] JOSM landsat plugin... do people want a 'slippy' style interface?

of course an autodownload would be cool, but if it is that much work, I 
think there are many other (and more important) occasions to improve 
OSM.

What I miss in the JOSM birthday release: In your custom builds, when 
downloading landsats more than once, the already downloaded landsats 
remained, at least during a session.
In the birthday release, when I pan around and load a landsat again, the 
previously downloaded landsat gets deleted. Does this "work as 
designed" or is this a bug? If at least my previously downloaded 
landsats did remain (and perhaps a shortcut for opening the download 
dialog could be added), I can live without slippy landsats.

BTW: In the current release of JOSM, the move tool works like a 
selection tool. I cannot move nodes. Does anyone else see this issue?
