What happened to Potlatch 2 ?

Posted by Geofalke on 8 March 2017 in English.

ID or JOSM may be useful Map editor software, but I still prefer Potlatch 2 for “landscape painting”. For me finding out and correcting the differences between aerial picture and state of the map is really great fun, as Potlatch 2 makes it possible to do the corrections with just a few mouse clicks.

For correcting the edge of a forest or a highway I used to highlight the way and the Shift + Click for a new waypoint at the correct place. Since a few days this no longer is possible, what a pity!

Is there a possibility to restore this feature?

In the current version the Shift + Click can lead to a marked rectangle, and then you cannot avoid zooming in, and later manually zooming out. Very annoying! “Mach’s weg!” please!

Best whishes! Geofalke

Side effect of another change. It’ll be back in the next version.
