Location of waypoint should be marked at beginning of action

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey I've been having fun labeling streets as they go by on my daily bus 
rides with the new text annotation feature. It's nice to get the things 
previously traced from aerial imagery properly labeled.

I ran into one problem however -- some of my markers of WAY in the wrong 
place.

The simple problem is this: the location of the waypoint is not marked until 
you FINISH entering the text instead of being marked and then labeled. The 
same happens for the voice notes I think, but the 5 second limit on entering 
data keeps them from being too far off from where you started. (although 
this should probably be changed to. Think about reading off exit numbers on 
a freeway ... 5 seconds could get you a long way off).

I understand it's important, but I think it depends on use cases: One would 
prefer to
have the location recorded just when you start tagging (For pictures for 
example ?),
other when you finish.

Ideally it should be a user setting.

It will not be easy to change for the moment as the components which records 
data
(voice/photo/text) are not location-aware so they don't know the location when 
you
start recording.

I think this issue is pretty important. It is very confusing when the location 
of the waypoint is set when the entering action is finished. For example, when 
running in a car (or bus) and taking a text note it is very difficult to be 
able to finish entering text at the "correct location". It is much more 
convenient to press "text note" when passing the location and then after-ward 
filling in the details.

Just to em-phase the importance; this issue will sadly keep me off from 
continuing using osmtracker for now. I hope this could be resolved soon.

I lack time for now, but as I already said I'm totally open to patches 
submissions ;-)

• Changed state: Accepted

I just fixed it: For Voice records and Text notes the location is now recorded 
at the beginning of the action (click on the button), instead of at the end of 
the recording or when validating text entry.

For pictures it's still when actually taking the picture which probably makes 
sense.

Will be available in next release.
