adjust offset dialog does not make it clear that you can move layer with mouse

[anonymous]

two days ago i could adjust the bingimages offset with the a button on the left side.
this is a good place for this function, but now i couldn't find the new place or this button anymore

ok, i found the new offset-function, but this is a awful thing, absolutly ;-)

thx

Please explain in more detail why you think it was better before.

[berndw OSM-Bonn]

It was better. to move the BING-Layer with the mouse, with the new function it is to difficult, to set the exact offset

[bastiK]

It is still possible to move the layer with the mouse while the adjust dialog is open. We will add a button or explanation text to make this more obvious.

Ticket #5733 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.

I agree with the OP that the function is implemented quite awfully. Especially after there has been a button for offsetting the layer which has been removed now.

[berndw OSM-Bonn]

Ok, this function works if the dialog is open, but the it is not self-explanatory, i have tried to add some values ;-) manually.
The resulting values are not relevant for me, because they are not consistent. Can you add this to status line in the (main)window?

The Button should be on better visible position, possible with a short hint for new users
But this is only a wish from my side ;-)

thx
Bernd

[Upliner]

Explaination was added in [3722/josm]. However, I'm not going to close this ticket for a while because I was asked to make possible to add the adjust button to the toolbar using Toolbar Custumization and to setup a shortcut for it.

[berndw OSM-Bonn]

I got this, if i want to add the offset-button to the toolbar
only put this only the left in the config-window and tried to save by clicking ok

[Upliner]

In [3737/josm]:

make possible to place imagery offset action to the top toolbar and place it there by default; completely fixes #5726

[Upliner]

Also, if you still like WMSPlugin-style adjust tool, you can use plugin "imageryadjust"
