reverse the 'never ask this again'

[acfvh@…]

Not working for Openstreetmap but in Opengeofiction.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. try to return (R) a way that is a highway after copying it from another route.
2. getting the window are you sure to return the way
3. getting another window that wants to return the oneway tag????
4. somehow i approved the question to 'never ask this question again'

What is the expected result?

stil want to return highway-way

What happens instead?

Not being able to return any way that is tagged highway

Please help me get rid of 'stupid' questions and please let me just get on with editing!!!
If i want to reverse a highway, just let me!!!

I doubt that JOSM currently has such a confirmation dialog on Reversing Ways, see trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/actions/ReverseWayAction.java​.

3. getting another window that wants to return the oneway tag????

This Automatic Tag Correction dialog is a big advantage for data consistency. It pops up only if you are going to reverse directional sensitive data.

4. somehow i approved the question to 'never ask this question again'

I doubt that the Automatic Tag Correction dialog has such an suppress-forever flag.

Maybe this very old JOSM version was different. I suggest to update JOSM.

Well, i opened this ticket close to two years ago. Then i was rather frustrated for not being able to easily revert highways the way i wanted it too. I have updated JOSM since then and the problem seems to be solved. But i think it's still possible to have the tag 'oneway' with value '-1' which i believe is odd.

The validator warns about oneway=-1 and suggests to use the reverse way function.

I've looked at the code. There was and there still is an expert option tag-correction.reverse-way
If that is set to false there will be no dialog when you reverse a highway with e.g. sidewalk=left or oneway=yes.
It simply reverses the way without changing the tags.
I see no use case where this would make sense.
