On the one hand, the cycleway value is used for many different purposes (e.g. any minor way that can be used by bike). On the other hand, we have some jurisdictional dependencies, so german mappers want to cearly express the difference between the following signs:

Thus I think it is not the optimal solution to assume that highway=cycleway implies foot=yes. But that’s just my personal two cents.

I only maintain the presets, not the code. The feature you mention sounds desirable, so what about filing it in JOSM’s trac (http://josm.openstreetmap.de/)?

Comment on Sound Collection Tools for the Korg Z1 Synthesizer by Ian Clark

Good to see a helpful page giving advice to Korg Z1 users.

I agree with your comment about searching through a large number of Korg Z1 sounds, and recommend that you have a look at the latest version of Korg Z1 Editor 2004 as you suggest. There is a Sound Show tool there which can send selected sound patches to the Korg Z1 in succession without needing to press any buttons on the Korg Z1. Worth a mention.

Would you be able to add the ability to search all the presets, including synonyms? This alone would make me more interested in using the presets, as I know what I want to add, I just don’t know which sub menus to go through to get it, and it’s faster to just enter the tags manually.

Comment on Paths and Tracks vs. Bridleways, Cycleways and Footways by Richard Fairhurst

As someone who believes the “path” tag, and “=designated”, to be a nasty, unnecessary piece of tag bloat in most circumstances, I’m sorry to see this. We already have a tag for “dedicated, combined foot- and cycleway” – that’s highway=cycleway; a cycle-only route should be “highway=cycleway, foot=no”. But then I don’t use JOSM so I don’t really have any right to complain!

Potlatch 2 is. :)

Bashing ? Those changes look much better to me than the previous layout. I share the feelings you explain in the next post – I’m pleased to see that not only am I not the only one have them, but on top of that my favourite editor changes to accommodate them. Thank you !
