[OSM-talk] Any way to reduce editor applet on-screen resolution?

[Steve Bromwich]

Hi,

I seem to have a problem with the Yahoo imagery timing out as it downloads 
in the on-line editing applet. It starts downloading quickly, does three 
columns of Yahoo imagery, then slows down for the next few tiles, and 
usually stops after 6 tiles. I don't know if there's a timeout in the code 
that's set too low or what. However... The resolution of the applet 
(900x700) is such that most of the display is off the screen. I think if I 
could reduce the applet size to something smaller, say 800x400, I'd be 
able to do more.

As it is, I have to keep clicking between the view and edit tabs and drag 
the slippy map a few pixels over, then hope that I can get enough imagery 
downloaded to map out another hundred metres or so of coastline. This is, 
to say the least, somewhat tedious. I tried running the applet locally on 
my machine (by saving edit.html to /tmp and wgetting the jars) to see if I 
could see anything obviously awry but for some reason it didn't want to 
run - the Java console complained about AWT, which I don't know anything 
about. If someone could give me some suggestions on the best direction to 
go I'd be most grateful.

I'm running this on a Linux laptop with Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Sun's Java 5 
package.

Cheers, Steve
