manual download mode?

[malenki]

After reading that there is finally a plugin for Mapillary (thank you very much, nokutu!) I immediately went testing it.
So far so good, but soon I had problems downloading images at all.
After a lot of testing and comparing I found out that somehow this line is written into the preferences.xml avoiding further image downloads:

<tag key='mapillary.download-manually' value='true'/>

I could not find out the trigger adding it to the preferences but it happened always on my usual ~/.josm with 39 plugins and tons of old settings. (The file still contains even OSB stuff.)

When starting JOSM with a blank ~/.josm I couldn't reproduce the line being added to the preferences, but adding it manually stopped the plugin from downloading.

You can find that setting in the prefferences menu. In the first tab there is a tab called mapillary.

If that value is true, you will have to press a button (File menu) that downloads all the images in the rectangle you are seeing. Otherwise, it will automatically download the images in all the areas where there is OSM data downloaded.

But it is strange that this setting was in different states although I never touched it. I will keep watching it.
