All can be changed in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference]: * `osm-primitives.showid`: set to `true`/`false` to display/hide the OSM id of the object in the list * `osm-primitives.showcoor`: set to `true`/`false` to display/hide the coordinates of the object in the list * `osm-primitives.showversion`: set to `true`/`false` to display/hide the version number of the object in the list * `osm-primitives.localize-name`: set to `true` to display the localized name of the object, if corresponding tag is present (expert mode only). * `osm-primitives.showid.new-primitives`: set to `true` to display the internal negative OSM id of new objects in the list, instead of zero (`0`) for all (expert mode only). Option to not sort the objects by object type and id * `selection.no_sort`: set to `true` to show the real order of selection. == See also == * [wikitr:/Help/Action/Search Search] ---- Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Windows Windows menu] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Sidebar] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu Main Menu] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
