Reverse direction dialog prompt.

[ggeldenhuis]

When I combine two ways that have opposite direction I get prompted if I want to merge them. It would be nice to have a tick box that I can tick to enable automatic merging in the future. This should only really be applicable when the ways do not have any conflicting tags or no tags which is my general use case. If this is enabled some visual feedback that two ways with different directions have been merged would be nice. I am thinking of something similar to the box that flashed on the screen after a data upload.

In 6596/josm:

fix #9509 - allow "Change directions?" (for combining ways) dialog result to be stored

[ggeldenhuis]

Thanks I will download that release as soon as it becomes available.

[ggeldenhuis]

Downloaded and tested. Maybe a small enhancement could be to tell the user where he/she can find the setting to change back later if they so wish and what it would be called.

Displaying that one would have to change the combineway-reverse preference key, wouldn't help so much I guess since nobody would recall. A real solution would involve a list of all saved dialog results, but that isn't a "small enhancement" …

[ggeldenhuis]

The ability to remember is perhaps best left with the user. Being unable to change it back mean or know where to makes JOSM a blackbox which it should not be. Would it be worthwhile to create a ticket for your suggested real solution? As a reminder.

Yes, please do so. :-)
