A plugin for mass tag editing

[anonymous]

It would be handy to have a plugin that allows you to (a) export the tags of all selected objects to a CSV file and (b) import back the tags from the CSV file into JOSM, after editing the CSV file with a spreadsheet program.

This would facilitate tasks like tag clean-up.

That's a very specific request and I doubt someone else ever will need such a feature. You can edit the JOSM .osm save file, which is ASCII as well.

And BTW JOSM's internal mass edit features are much better than anything you can do with a spreadsheet tool.

Do not forget to mention the scripting plugin.

I may be missing something, but I can't do something as simple as seeing all values corresponding to a certain key in my selection. If I select several objects with, say, different values for the amenity key, I just see "amenity=<different>" in the tag pane.

You can: Select the tag, press edit and open the value combobox in the popup.

Have a look at the multi-tag edit function of utilsplugin2. It could help, too.

Still, think some command line tools might do the job as we are talking about simple ASCII files.

Yes, the multi-tag thing (Data -> Tag multiple objects) is pretty much what I was looking for. But it apparently doesn't yet allow regexp substitutions, which is what I wanted to do in the spreadsheet program.
