= [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png,middle,margin-right=20)]] Notes Dialog =

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

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

Regarding ''development'' state: The only main features missing, compared to the older [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Notes notes plugin], is search and a way to open the note in a browser. [/query?status=!closed&keywords=~notes List of open tickets].

To download notes: just set the [[Help/Preferences/Advanced|advanced preference]] `osm.notes.enableDownload` to `true` and restart, then a checkbox appears in the [[Help/Action/Download|download dialog]]. Due to [ticket:10845] (fixed in JOSM version 7809), be sure to enable this Notes dialog before you download notes.

== Showing and Hiding the Map Style Dialog Window ==
Show or hide this dialog window by
* using the Window menu (or, to hide, the dialog's buttons). 
* clicking on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png,20,middle)]] in the tool palette on the left of the JOSM main window

== 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
