This list offers common projections (categories) by their name. The second to last entry, ''By Code (ESPG)'', offers a complete list of all known projection codes with a filter option on top. With the last entry, customs projections can be set. 14 15 [[Image(PreferencesMapProjection.png,link=,right,margin-left=15,50%)]] 15 16 16 17 Projection code:: shows the EPSG code for the projection. 17 18 Bounds:: shows the region where the projection is valid. \\ 18 Some projections are valid only for small parts of the world.\\ 19 Some projections are valid only for small parts of the world. \\ 19 20 20 Common default projection for JOSM is Mercator (EPSG:3857). \\ 21 Common default projection for JOSM is ''Mercator (EPSG:3857)''. \\ 21 22 It has certain advantages, one of them is that geometric figures (e.g. circles and rectangles) aren't deformed when displayed. \\ 22 JOSM reprojects raster images from the projection of the source automatically to the current projection method. 23 JOSM re-projects raster images from the projection of the source automatically to the current projection method. 23 24 24 25 Set as default:: … … 26 27 It is visible in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only, #14877. 27 28 28 === Display coordinates as === 29 30 == Display coordinates as == 29 31 Set the user default coordinate format (Decimal, Degrees, Nautical or Projected Coordinates). 32 30 33 31 == =System of measurement===34 == System of measurement == 32 35 Set the user default system of measurement (Metric, Chinese, Imperial or Nautical Mile). 33 36 34 In the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar status bar] the coordinate format and the system of measurement can be changed in the context menu for the current session. 37 In the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar status bar] the coordinate format and the system of measurement can be changed in the context menu for the current session, individually. 35 38 So the numbers in ''Bounds'' may not fit to ''Display coordinates as''. 36 39 37 38 == Map Paint Styles == #MapPaintStyles39 In this tab the styles for displaying the data can be changed. Beside the internal styles also externals styles are presented and can be activated.40 41 [[Image(MapPaintStylesPreferences.png,link=,40%)]]42 43 See [wikitr:/Styles] and [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/MapPaint Map Styles panel].44 45 46 == Tagging Presets == #TaggingPresets47 ''If you want to learn how presets can also be added to the toolbar see - [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Toolbar Toolbar Customization]'' \\48 ''If you want to use presets or need complete reference of presets see [wikitr:/Presets Presets]'' \\49 50 [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#presets Presets] allow you to select predefined tags for [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects]. From this area of the preferences menu you can choose which presets to use.51 52 The preset list will be downloaded automatically, then you have two options:53 54 === Activate preset(s) from available presets ===55 Use [[JOSMImage(preferences/activate-right)]] the blue, right arrow in the middle. \\56 Items on the right will appear in [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Presets Presets menu].57 58 [[Image(wiki:TaggingPresets:TaggingPresets.png,link=,40%)]]59 60 === Add a preset from the file ===61 Include one from a URL or local file (or network-located file or file in a Dropbox alternative) by clicking on the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add)]] plus button on the right.62 63 Adding presets requires a restart of JOSM. Then the [wikitr:/Introduction#Presets tagging presets can be selected as usual].64 65 66 == File Backup ==#FileBackup67 [[Image(josm_prefs_file_backup.png,link=,right,margin-left=10)]]68 69 === Autosave ===70 * enable or disable [wikitr:/Help/Action/AutoSave autosave] altogether71 * set a custom value for the time interval in seconds (default is 300).72 * set a custom value for the number of backup files per data layer (default is 1). If you increase it to 2, JOSM will not only save the last snapshot of your changes, but also the last but one (in case it differs from the last, otherwise an even older snapshot, if available).73 74 === Backup ===75 * keep backup files when saving data layer \\76 If you save a data layer to a local file and the file already exists JOSM writes the data to a temporary file (with a tilde `~` as suffix). It then copies the temporary file to the target file. \\77 Here you can specify whether JOSM should delete the temporary file or whether it should leave it as "backup" in the file system.78 79 === Notification ===80 * Choose if you want to see a small notification at each save.81 40 82 41 {{{#!comment … … 86 45 ---- 87 46 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences dialog] \\ 47 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit Menu] \\ 48 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu Main Menu] \\ 88 49 Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
