Changesets: Keep object selected when navigating between linked changesets

Open danieldegroot2 opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

What feature would you like to see added?

Minor suggestion;

When clicking on object, i.e. node, you will see changes for the single changeset. It will show the previous version and the link to the previous changeset. When clicking on the link for the previous changeset, it will open it. However, the object the user clicked on is no longer selected.

I would suggest maybe adding parameter to link/url which keeps the object id, so the object remains selected for the previous changeset also. (of course changes in that changeset might be different but that would be of second concern if user is inspecting changes for a single object)

also, it might be useful at this point to provide link back to future changeset. Currently, the user has to manually go back in the browser to go back to the future/next changeset.

Why would this be useful to you or other users?

Allow users to more easily navigate between changeset while keeping the context (selected object) in mind.

(osmcha differs here from osm.org website where you can only look at either object or changeset page at a time, not both)
