''Keyboard shortcut:''''' {{{none yet}}}'''

This dialog presents a list of [osmwiki:Notes OSM notes] and allows to create new, comment, close or reopen notes.

[[Image(Help/Dialog/Notes:notesdialog.png)]]

To download notes: Use the "Notes" checkbox in the [[Help/Action/Download|download dialog]]. Older versions: Before r8071 (Notes support got enabled by default): just set the [[Help/Preferences/Advanced|advanced preference]] `osm.notes.enableDownload` to `true` and restart. Before r7809 (due to [ticket:10845]): be sure to enable this Notes dialog before you download notes.

Regarding ''development'' state: The only main features missing, compared to the older [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Notes notes plugin], is a way to open the note in a browser. [/query?status=assigned&status=needinfo&status=new&status=reopened&component=Core+notes&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&col=time&report=1&order=priority List of open tickets].

||  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/upload.png)]]  || Upload note changes to server || After you created a note or made changes to existing notes, the changes are not uploaded automatically.

== Change advanced notes settings ==

There are some advanced settings for notes. To change them first download some notes and then go to the [[Help/Preferences/Advanced|advanced preference]] and search for the following keys:

* `osm.notes.daysClosed`: you can specify how long (in days) the notes should still be downloaded after they were closed
 * set a number > 0 to set the days (e.g. `10` means a note which was closed 10 days ago will be downloaded, a note which was closed 11 days ago will not)
 * set it to `0`, to download only open notes
 * set it to `-1`, to download all created notes ever (of course only in the selected area)
* `osm.notes.downloadLimit`: you can specify the maximal number of downloaded notes
