Talk:Kosmos Future

Feature Requests:

• Create a settings type "coordinate format" which lets user choose the coordinate format shown in the properties window. The coordinate format should be at least DMS and decimal Degrees. -- 16th May 2012
• A way to select the rendering rules in Kosmos it self, maybe it could load the list of existing rules from this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Category:Kosmos_rules

and put the into a dropdownlist or something...--Astrofreak85 14:25, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Good idea, goes to the to do list --Breki 16:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

• In this kind it were great, if I can use more then one rendering rules. So it was posible to split the rendering rules (take rules for highway form ...., rules for building from... and rules for landuse... and so on.--ersthelfer 06:34, 09 Dezember 2008 (UTC)

• Where can i find a discription of the new kosmos functions - icon in area etc? --Jan Tappenbeck 13:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

This feature has only been partially implemented - I need to write a better algorithm for placing icons on polygons. All other new features are described here and I've also updated the Wiki pages. --Breki 07:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

• Is it possible to show ONEWAY-Street-Definition in KOSMOS - now or in future ? --Jan Tappenbeck 08:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm working on it --Breki 20:22, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

• Is it possible to create a list with different styledefinition-urls and select another by a combobox. --Jan Tappenbeck 13:22, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

It was my plan to provide this in the v2.3, but I had just too much work on other features. So maybe in v2.4... --Breki 20:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

• "More work on relations support - how to distinguish between the relation's tags and member's tags in rules?"

When i render a relation by setting relation as target, i expect the rendering of the relations's tags, and not the member's tags.

Maybe it would be good to set it in the selectors column.. Like this: type=route route=bus node(highway=bus_stop)

• A question: Is it possible to reload only a few tiles using the Web-Maps option?

I only found the Clear cache button which deletes all tiles. I would like a function which reloads the currently shown tiles for example by pressing F5 and automatically reloading them when they are older then 1 week or something like that.

• Making the tilegen multicore-able by rendering two or more tiles at the same time in different threads.

--Chrisz 19:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

• Using the kosmos-tiles with kosmos-GUI.

--Chrisz 19:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll try to add it some of these things in the new version of Kosmos, once I finish GroundTruth --Breki 20:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
