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
