When reverting 2 or more changesets, reverter puts them automaticly on seperate layers

[rickmastfan67]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the reverter plugin and restart JOSM.
2. Find two changesets that need to be reverted.
3. Ctrl+Shift+T and add the following two changesets: 33974078, 33946791 (NOTE: both have already been reverted by me, so don't upload any changes from a revert on this test)
4. Hit the 'revert' button.

What happens:
Both changesets are reverted, but on separate layers with each layer reporting conflicts.

What should happen:
Both changesets are reverted, but on the same layer (with no conflicts normally).

Workaround(s):

1. Revert one changeset at a time.
2. Download a little data from OSM and then do steps 3 & 4.

Since the "Download as new layer" box is grayed out and always clicked (when no other data is already downloaded), you can't properly revert 2 or more changesets right away without any data layers present. Maybe that box should not be grayed out so that users can un-click it to prevent multiple layers from being created (when no other data is already downloaded)?

You need to create an empty layer first (and then both changesets will be reverted as one single layer).

Yes, that's one of the workarounds (well, I mentioned downloading a small segment of data, but pretty much the same thing) I mentioned above.

Still, if you can revert one changeset without any problems & without having an empty layer already active, you should be able to do it with two or more changesets as well.

We usually do not use milestones for plugins …

Ah, yes, I forgot :)

Thanks for fixing this Simon. :)

However, is there anyway you can tell JOSM to suppress the 'conflict' message till all the changesets are reverted? Just try with the original examples and you'll see what I mean.
