Export GPX file: automatically download all member of relation

[PPete2]

If selecting "Export GPX file starting from first/last member" by right click on a relation:

please automatically download all yet undownloaded members of the relation before. Or at least offer this option by message window to the user before the export is started.

Otherwise the exported relation is incomplete. In worst case this fact is unknown to the user and he, by mistake, thinks that the relation is shorter that it is in reality.

What do you think about disabling the actions for incomplete relations?

[PPete2]

Sorry, I don't understand. What exactely should I do?
My idea is that incomplete relations are completing themselves automatically if a user exports them as GPX-file. Is this already possible?

[GerdP]

I meant we could change the code so that the actions are disabled when a relation is incomplete. That's easy to do and doesn't require a new dialog or other new components.

[PPete2]

Well this is also a possible solution. But just in combination with a message which tells the user that and why the GPX-export is cancelled and what he has to to first (download rlation with all members) before he tries to click onto GPX-export again.

A disabled action is shown in the menu but it is greyed out and doesn't react on anything. So, I think you wouldn't like that.

[PPete2]

Well, without a notification window I think it will be unclear to the users why an action is disabled.
