[PATCH] Allow opening a directory tree of pictures in JOSM

[marcello@…]

JOSM should allow users to open multiple directories of images. The attached patch does affect other file types.

Old bug report description

Mapillary "Import Pictures" does not honor exif orientation
When importing images with File | Import Pictures | All Images in a Directory all portrait images are rotated. Importing the same pictures with File | Open ... all portrait pictures are right.

As an FYI, the import functionality in the Mapillary plugin is a candidate for removal.

The only reason it still exists is for 360 image support, which I've been working on moving into JOSM core. Once that happens, the import functionality will be removed.

That's bad because it is the only way to import a directory tree of pictures into JOSM. File | Open ... does only one directory at a time. I guess that's another ticket then.

My long term intent is to move as much stuff as possible into JOSM core that is not directly related to Mapillary (as in, it requires the Mapillary API) so that other plugins (e.g., MS StreetSide, KartaView, etc.) can reuse code, so if there is something in Mapillary not directly related to the Mapillary API, please let me know so I can look into moving it to JOSM core.

It turns out to be a fairly simple change.

The only problem is that the native file choosers may not support it, so we get the uglier Java Swing File picker.

@marcello: I'm OK with moving to the uglier, but more functional Java Swing Picker for JOSM. Will that work for you?

[marcello@…]

that's ok with me
