[OSM-talk] Howto: "Download to current layer" in josm-latest (was: Should JOSM by downloading data to separate layers?)

[Immanuel Scholz]

Hi,

CC to talk, because may be if general interest.

>> I noticed with the latest JOSM, with multilayer support (very cool
>> stuff, btw) now puts different download passes into different layers.
>> Is this by design and if so, what is the rationale?

This is by design, although I was just a bit lazy and unsure how to
integrate an option to have the old "merge to current layer" best.


> There has been a bit of talk of adding an extra option to download to  
> the current layer.

Just click on the "Merge down" button in the layer dialog when the newly
downloaded layer is selected.

This will merge the selected layer with the one below and give you
exactly the old behavior of "download to current layer".


Because of it's so easy to achieve the old way, I've postponed the
implementation of an explicit checkbox. ;)


Ciao, Imi.
