New version of Quality Assurance Tools script (v0.6)
Käyttäjä coso kirjotti tämän 6. Augusta 2014 kielellä EnglishI have released v0.6 of Quality Assurance Tools script: a script to download OpenStreetMap errors in JOSM from different error detectors (OSM Inspector, Keep Right, Osmose, Housenumbervalidator) and fix them in sequence.
This video shows how the script works; see the Wiki page for more information.
Release changes
-
New supported tool: Housenumbervalidator, by Gulp21 (feature request by Poppei82).
-
New Favourites tool, where the user can save his/her favourite checks, by choosing among the ~200 supported checks. Add a check to Favourites by right clicking on it.
- Each check has an help link pointing to a Wiki page with info about it, if this page exists. E.g. help link for duplicate nodes reported by Osmose. Right click on a check to find the help link.
- A new dialog shows information about the error currently being fixed and the last user who touched the affected object (feature request by Poppei82).
- It is now possible to create more than one favourite zone (to fix only the errors falling inside a polygon or an administrative area). Their shapes are now shown on a map in Preferences dialog (credit to JOSM’s imagery preferences).
-
A local file with errors’ positions (GPX waypoints) can be opened from “QA Tools” menu (more info).
-
Tools can be updated by clicking a button from Preferences, if new checks or translations are available, without having to manually download all the script again.
-
The code has been refactored and cleaned up.
See this page for all changes.
Thanks to: Gulp21 for changes to Housenumbervalidator, Poppei82 for features suggestion and German translation, operon for French translation, Xmypblu, akks and mcheck for bugs reporting, fixing and testing.
Happy mapping :)

This is great! Thank you. The Favourites tool is pretty handy.
While using the new version of the script for the first time, a messaged popped up saying it requires ‘jts’ plug-in. Installed the jts plug-in and script started working again. I don’t remember installing jts plug-in for the previous version. Couldn’t find any reference to the jts plug-in in the QAT script Wiki page either.

I’m happy you like it.
Yes, jts plugin is now a requirement (it is written in the installation page). In previous versions it was used only after a favourite area was activated, while now it is also necessary for showing favourite areas shapes on the map, in Preferences.

Thank you. My mistake, I didn’t read the instructions properly.
