Whale of a Fail

Lost a two-hour edit session tonight.

I'm really not impressed with myself, having done it all in one big lump, and finding out someone else had edited underneath. Unfortunately JOSM was unable to reconcile the differences.

To add insult to injury, some of the edits that messed me up were the same as the ones I'd spent several hours earlier collecting. It's really, really disappointing, and now it's twenty past midnight and I've got sweet little anything to show for my work.

Things I lost include:

  • Updates to Chermside shopping centre, including car park and landuse designations, a duplication of two-lane ways, and a tidy-up of the traffic lights.
  • The majority of the Downfall Creek bikeway, including water taps, notable buildings, connecting trails, road crossings, updated waterway designations, bridges, tunnels, and several new estates adjacent.
  • Numerous incidental edits between Chermside and Taigum, including postboxes, names, node cleanup, and alignment.
  • Three new estates, including previously untraced stuff, parks, common areas, landuse designations and about a hundred Karlsruhe Schema addresses interpolated from painstaking satellite examination.

And right now the only thing I feel like is cvffvat and ovgpuvat about how bad-off I am. You can un-rot13 the previous sentence if you feel the need to read the low-level expletives I thought the OSM diary pages could do without.

I know it's my own fault for doing it all in one big blob, but who edits in Brisbane, anyway?

Are you sure that's what happened. Some recent versions of JOSM (still?) treat a second download (e.g. if you pan and need to bring some more data down) as a collision with your changes, even though you're the only one who made changes.

To be honest I'm not sure what happened exactly. Someone definitely got to uploading before me, and that was the thing that messed it up initially, and after that I couldn't reconcile the differences.

It's okay, I took another two hours and re-did everything, in small increments. :) Figured something constructive was in order after a big sooky rant.

or you could try to save the changes list and then check if you found the collisions and delete them in the xml file. It's not really user friendly but I've tried once successfully

I suppose it’s something everyone has to go through at some time. I once lost 45 minutes of work in Potlatch because it didn’t warn me I was leaving the page (it now does).

Things like this usually bite you only once before you switch to making/saving edits in smaller chunks. To bad your (apparent) first major problem in this area was two hours of editing work.
