Productivity booster : send select command while sending remote control instruction to JOSM #111

baditaflorin commented 6 years ago

Allow MapRoulette to select the specific way feature based on the Task. This could assist human-driven validation, so they spend more time fixing errors, instead of wasting time to find the specific object, after it is loaded into the JOSM editor. (ID editor not supported yet, created a bug request for the ID editor https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4797 )

Comma-separated list of objects that should be selected. Object specifiers are combinations of the words "way", "node", or "relation", and the numerical object id. Example: select=way38473,node12399,node54646. https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/RemoteControlCommand

In JOSM you can see the difference between the 2 in this use-case : Load this and then you usually have to zoom in one more time, remember what was the object that you are searching, identify it, click it and perform the required action that you need

Compared to this, that will load the map, automatically select the object that you want, so you just have to perform the required action that you need.

I know this is a 1-3 seconds difference, but in MapRoulette, where users are expected to do this behavior hundreds of time, this will add up. and this could mean either more free time to the user, or more fixes were done in the same amount of time,

I believe we're already doing this if the properties on the task feature contain an osmid that we're able to reference.

I think we just need to make sure this is covered well in the documentation #96.

PR #126 also adds support for the @id property that Overpass Turbo includes when exporting results as GeoJSON.
