I’ve just published a short recap of my first year as the iD maintainer on my diary, but most importantly, I’m announcing to start doing monthly online meetings to chat about iD.
For each of these meetings, I will pick a topic which I’d like to highlight in form of a short tutorial, hands-on session and/or presentation. My goal for this section is to share tips and tricks with you as well as hopefully trigger interesting discussions. Of course these meetups will also be a platform to ask general questions, and to give updates about current works in progress. Any other feedback is of course also very welcome!
Hello Martin,
thanks for your work and this new offer for discussion and feature request.
Personally, I am only using JOSM but I have a long outstanding issue with iD and PTv2 relations. Many problems have been fixed over the last year, many thanks, but this one remains:
If splitting a way which is member of a PTv2 relation containing a loop, iD always shuffles the order of the members and damages the relation.
This happens to newbies and experienced users and is more or less not fixable with iD. My only suggestion for the users is to use JOSM which is frustrating for both sides. Are there any plans to fix this problem? Some examples are:
Hey Skyper. Yes, that is indeed a known bug in iD (iD damages relations when splitting ways · Issue #8578 · openstreetmap/iD · GitHub is probably closely related to the bugs you have listed). Thanks for reminding me about this one: I would agree that even though it is a relatively rare bug, it is indeed a critical one (iD should not brake existing data, even when it does not “properly” support editing it directly). I will try to work on it as soon as possible.
After being paused for a while, the community chats / online meetups will be running again more regularly. The next instance is on next Wednesday, December 13 at 4pm UTC. The link will be the same as previously: iD community chat (next: 2023-12-13 16:00 UTC)
