OpenQA: Doesn't automerge new objects

[BalooUriza]

When downloading more OSM data, OpenQA does correctly fetch new objects, but requires a right-click > Clear after download to avoid potentially long lists of duplicates.

I really need to redo the download logic. IIRC, I just took the download area of the bounding box and got the data in that area.
I should probably switch to tile-based requests.

TBH, I don't know when I'll have time to fix this issue, but I'll see if I can work this in sometime this year.

Thanks for your report, however your ticket is incomplete and therefore not helpful in its current form.

Please add all needed information according to this list:

• The required parts of the Status Report from your JOSM.
  • Please, use Report Bug from Help menu and copy & paste.
• Describe what behaviour you expected.
• Describe what did happen instead.
• Describe if and how the issue is reproducible.
• Add any relevant information like error messages or screenshots.

To ensure that all technical relevant information is contained, create new tickets by clicking in JOSMs Main Menu on Help → Report Bug.

Remember: This is a generic notice so we don't need to write the same stuff again and again. It may only apply in parts to the specific case!

Taylor, did you need more information as suggested by Skyper, or did you understand what I mean?

Replying to BalooUriza:

It would be useful, but I don't think I need it for this specific bug. Like I said in my post, "IIRC, I just took the download area of the bounding box and got the data in that area." This means that overlapping download areas would duplicate issues. Tiling the requests would probably be the easiest way to avoid duplicating issues. I'll just need to check and see what size tiles make sense. Or if there is a vector tile layer available that I could reuse.

All that being said, there is a reason why skyper asked for it -- sometimes, there are bugs specific to some random Java versions, or the operating system, or the desktop environment.

[BalooUriza]

Fair. I think the quick and dirty interim fix would be to automatically "clear" after pulling data in. The potential drawbacks would be somewhat slower performance and larger memory usage before the clear, but it would at least make it compliant for doing something else without having to check on it when downloading along a very long road or powerline or whatever.

It is always nice to have at least the Josm and the plugin version. Reporting defects without status report is a bad habit, especially, as there is an action available which gathers the information.

sorry for the noise, typo in ticket number

It turns out KeepRight was being deduplicated while Osmose was not -- I was depending upon numeric error ids for that originally.

Anyway, this should be fixed in the next OpenQA release. Which should be sometime today.
