}}} [[TOC(inline)]] == Launching Changeset Manager == There are several ways to launch the Changeset Manager: 1. Select the menu item [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/changesetmanager.png)]]''View->Changeset Manager'' 2. Press {{{Ctrl-Alt-C}}} 3. Select one or more changesets in the [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetListDialog Changeset List Dialog] and click there on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/changesetmanager.png)]] == The Changeset Manager window == [[Image(changesetmanager-screenshot.png)]] == Querying changesets == There are several ways to query and download changesets. The most common query and download operations can be invoked directly from the Changset Manager. Other more advanced features are provided by the [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetQueryDialog Changeset Query Dialog]. === Query and download a changeset by its unique ID === If you want to download a specific changeset whose ID you know, you can download it directly in the Changeset Manager. [[Image(query-single-changeset.png)]] 1. Enter the changeset ID in the input field in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager 2. Press {{{ENTER}}} or click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangeset.png)]] If you download a single changeset JOSM downloads both the changeset properties (for instance its id or the date it was created) and the changeset content (i.e. the list of objects created, updated, or deleted with this changeset). === Query and download your open changesets === Changesets can be [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Changeset#Properties open or closed]. A mapper can always upload additional objects to an open changeset he or she owns. If you want to download the list of open changesets you own 1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangeset.png)]]'''My open changesets''' in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager Note that this download only the changeset properties without the changeset content. For downloading the content of changesets see below. === Advanced queries === Advanced queries like * querying the changesets owned by another mapper * querying the most recent changesets open or closed on the OSM server * querying changesets which modified object in a specific area (called a "bounding box") can be run using the [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetQueryDialog Changeset Query Dialog]. To launch the [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetQueryDialog Changeset Query Dialog]: 1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/search.png)]]'''Query''' in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager == Managing the cache of downloaded changesets == JOSM locally maintains a cache of the changesets downloaded from the OSM server. The content of this cache is displayed in the upper half of the Changeset Manager. === Removing changesets from the cache === Changesets can be removed from the local cache. Removing a changeset from the cache is purely local operation. The changeset isn't deleted on the OSM server. In fact, it is ''not possible'' to delete a changeset on the server. Removing changesets from the local cache can be useful because the local changeset cache consumes memory. You can remove changesets you don't need from the cache in order to free it up. To remove one or more changesets from the local cache 1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager 2. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png)]] or press {{{DEL}}}. Alternatively you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png)]]'''Remove from cache''' from the popup menu. === Updating the properties of changesets in the cache === Properties of changesets can cache over time. For instance, an open changeset can become closed or the tags of an open changeset can change because it is assigned a new set of tags in another upload. In order to update the properties of one or more changesets 1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager 2. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset.png)]]. Alternatively you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset.png)]]'''Update changeset''' from the popup menu. Note that this will update the changeset properties only. For updating the changeset content, see [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager#UpdateContentMulti below]. === Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache === #UpdateContentMulti A changeset includes a collection of object which have been created, updateded, or deleted by the changeset. These objects are called the ''changeset content''. The size of a changeset content varies, but in general it can become very large. Changesets can grow up to 50'000 objects. Changeset content is therefore not automatically downloaded from the OSM server. In order to download the changeset content of one or more changesets 1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager 2. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent.png)]]. Alternatively you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent.png)]]'''Download changeset content''' from the popup menu. In additiol, the content of a changeset may change over time provided the changeset is still open. The same steps will always retrieve the most recent content for a given changeset. If the local cache already includes the content of a changeset, this operation will update it with the latest content. == Managing a single changeset == === Browsing properties, tags, and content === === Remove a changeset from the local cache === === Updating/Downloading changeset content === === Selecting objects in the changeset content in the Map View === If the [wiki:/Help/MapView Map View] includes an active data layer you can select all objects in this layer which are also part of the current changeset in the Changeset Manager. 1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] in the detail view of the Changeset Manager You can also select 1. Select the tab '''Content''' in the detail view 2. Select one or more objects in the content 3. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] '''Select in layer''' in the popup menu. === Zooming to objects in the changeset content === === Download and display the history of objects in the changeset content === == See also ==
