I've been tracing Yahoo! imagery in Potlatch for a while now, and have really gotten the hang of Potlatch. I'd like to get into JOSM, but find the interface has a bit of a learning curve (just like Potlatch). It might be my connection, but I find I have to keep pressing the "data wasn't updated" warning icon in Potlatch, and it gets very annoying. I don't have a GPS yet, so it's tracing all the way.
I have successfully setup JOSM and downloaded an area. Also worked out how to get Yahoo! imagery through Firefox.
The problem is, I can't seem to get JOSM to remember the background Y! image between sessions. This is annoying since I do little bits at a time, and would prefer to come back and continue editing without needed to download the Y! images again...

There is no way to get JOSM to remember the Yahoo imagery between sessions.

If there are other people collecting traces in your area, you may be able to use their traces, or use the layout of the current data to add names to it.
