Description
When I'd choose load_data or load_and_zoom, I get to propose a layer name, but with import I can't. I'm preparing a report to be posted as a wiki page for 1900 bus lines, it seems more efficient to be able to point to a zip file I posted elsewhere, than to include the data on the wiki, over and over again. (Of course, what I really need is a server to distribute data more dynamically, but I don't happen to have one, so I have to make do with a more kludgy solution atm)
changeset_comment and changeset_source also seem interesting.
What would be truly grand, is if it were possible to have the import being followed by an Overpass query as well... but that functionality isn't coded yet. At the moment I scripted it. But that script needs to be run twice now. Once to perform the download and again to do the actual work. I can't use load_and_zoom to download an entire bbox. Some of these bus lines have long trajectories, some of them even 100km across the country, so it's important to be more specific.
I'm pretty sure I could find a use for search (not for the project I'm currently working on though)
I spoke before my turn again, when choosing new_layer=true, it uses the file name of the zip file. That's nice, but when I try to save, it doesn't propose a file name. It would be nice if the name minus .zip would be proposed.
