Filter dialog

The filter dialog allows the user to temporarily hide certain types of objects on the map.

how to activate

Click on the symbol on the lower left of the main window. If the symbol is not there, check if your JOSM version is >= 3189. If it is still not visible, you can try setting displayfilter=true in the advanced preferences (and restart).

Options

• E (Enable): Enable or disable this filter.
• H (Hide elements): If this option is ticked, the chosen objects are completely hidden. Otherwise they are disabled and shown in a shade of gray.
• Text: The search term that defines the objects that are filtered.
• I (Inverse Filter): Normally, the specified objects are hidden and the rest is shown. If this option is activated, only the specified objects are shown and the rest is hidden.
• M (Filter Mode): One of the following: replace selection, add to selection, remove from selection, find in selection. This defines how a filter is combined with the previous filter.
