status report as text file

[Don-vip]

You're running an old version of DirectUpload plugin (30762 instead of 31949), please update your plugins.

[alexkemp]

I update constantly, and just did so again.

1) DirectUpload plugin got changed from 30762 to 31949.
2) Restart JOSM
3) Checking Plugins after restart, DirectUpload reports:-

Version 31949 (local 30762)

I now understand the constant updates to DirectUpload in the past (I thought that it was receiving a lot of development!).

Please explain what extra steps are required to make the upgrade 'fix' in my system.

[alexkemp]

PS
I just tried again with (supposedly) 31949 & got identical results to those at the head of this bug report.

[alexkemp]

Having now restarted the OS following the JOSM plugins upgrade, I recheck JOSM:-

1) (menu): Help | About | Plugins:- DirectUpload Version 31949
2) (menu): Edit | Preferences | Plugins:- DirectUpload Version 31949 (local 30762)
3) bug report (it reliably crashes JOSM at every attempt to upload traces):

 Plugins:
- DirectUpload (30762)

So, my question remains: I use the recommended method to upgrade (Preferences | Plugins) but it never sticks. What now?

[Don-vip]

Have you installed Debian package "josm-plugins"? If yes, it must be uninstalled to avoid conflicts. See Download#Installation

[alexkemp]

Sigh. You are absolutely right, of course. Silly humans.

After removal Preferences | Plugins shows DirectUpload Version 31949 (local 31949) and, even more to the point, my traces upload successfully. FWIW.

Many thanks, Don-vip.

[Don-vip]

You're welcome.
