[Patch] "Paste Tags" won't work between linestrings and nodes

[SLowRider aka ce]

After copying a linestring a trial to paste the tags to a node will fail. This is crucial if you want to add a node with the same tags as an area you just created.

I do understand you description at all. Please explain, what you try to say.

Arrgh. I meant "I do NOT understand".

No answer. Closing.

"After copying a linestring a trial to paste the tags to a node will fail."
means, "After copying a way, attempting to use 'paste tags' on a node will fail."

I've found this to be the case also in the opposite direction (node to way). It would definitely be helpful to be able to copy tags between different types.

This one bugs me as well. It should be possible to Paste Tags between objects of different types, i.e. from a Node to a Way and vice versa.

It'd be useful when somebody has added a node to represent an object and you want to turn it into an area because you have better imagery now or you've traced the boundary.

Adds "real" sources to the paste buffer when the data is copied. On pasting, a single primitve type must be selected and the original copy action only may have contained a single primitive type. Basically this boils down to "Ways -> Nodes" and "Nodes -> Ways". All other cases will fall back to the current action.

Also removes useless call to nodes.clear() and makes use of return/continue to make pasteKeys better readable.

Thank you xeen, if this is working! Waiting for one year for this.
