[Patch] JOSM downloads too small areas when pasting OSM link

[Bürste]

If you cut a link from osm and pasting it into the download dialog the zoom=xx seems to not parsed or calculated wrong. JOSM downloads a very small area, would be zoom=19 or more if the link contains zoom=16.

It's annoying because you have to zoom out and redownload ... the server have to serve the same data twice (the data which was downloaded the first time) and it would save time for the user. So I think it's major.

Unfortunatelly it's not possible to download exactly the area you see in your browser because url contains only size of on map tile, not shown bounding box.

As a workaround I would suggest to paste url and then switch to Slippy map tab and select the area you want to download.

This can be fixed by specifying usuall browser size. Then josm will have all necessary information to download exactly what you see in your browser.

But I think this is a minor thing when we have other ways to select data, like Slippy map and Places.

@ jitt, we don't have to set some browser size, we got the screensize itself, doesn't we? ...

You really often got links to a position on IRC or web and want to look at the data, that might be not major but normal should the trick. Hope you don't mind changing it again.

Patch attached (using screen size returned by Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()). Still not perfect, but worth testing. :-)

Do you care for this yourself?
