In reflexion mode...

I agree on the specific topic of OSM export, but on a broader view, something that bugs me off is that there is no way today to know what features have been added/modified (see #782)

A path would be:[[BR]]

• to have a separate layer for the "dirty" list, i.e. what have to be uploaded[[BR]]
• have a Merkaartor document load/save feature, the document comprising and export of the current layers, including the dirty one and maybe even the tile cache (or part of it), styles, preferences, etc...

That would allow for a full offline mode for Merkaartor.
Don't forget that, as of Qt4.4, WinCE is supported, too, so, why not a MerkaartorCE...

While thinking about it...

How does JOSM handle the deleted features? By putting an "action=delete", I guess.
That makes the exported OSM non-standard, as only JOSM will be able to properly render the OSM, the other renderers ignoring the tag and rendering the deleted stuff (unless in "JOSM-compliant" mode).

Definitely going for the document feature and putting this as "enhancement", as the current function does what it is supposed to do, i.e. export an OSM snapshot.

(In [7302]) ADD : Merkaartor document (*.mdc). fixes #768.
For the moment, the document contains the layouts structure (and their contents as OSM or GPX), the document history (=undo) and the viewport.
This is a biggie and there are probably bugs inside. Please test and report.

Thanks very much for that feature, will check. I'm preparing a move right now though, so I might be slow.
