7114	ability to upload/download pictures directly to/from Openstreetview.org	Polyglot	team	"I would like to request a feature, either to the core or to the photo geotagging plugin.

When looking at pictures, it would be nice if it were possible to write extra tags to the EXIF header, preferably with copy/paste, based on the selected OSM element's properties.

Then it would be really nice if it were possible to upload 1 or several photos directly to Openstreetview.org. Uploading is possible by means of non anonymous FTP.

The username/password pair can probably be stored in the JOSM settings.


The next part of this feature request is, of course, the ability to download photos from openstreetview for a given bounding box. Comparable to downloading GPX-traces from other contributors:


http://openstreetview.org/api/photos/locate.kml?bbox=-0.19876241686731,51.484242523509,-0.073707103761949,51.532428338145


This API call results in a KML file, containing urls of available photos, which could then be downloaded to a temporary storage on a local disk and made available in a dedicated JOSM picture layer for viewing.

Again, it would be nice if it were possible to view the tags available in the EXIF headers, while looking at the pictures.

I would do it myself, but unfortunately I'm not a JAVA programmer and I've been looking at the source code and I don't see where I'd have to start. I was trying to come up with a prototype in Python, which would run in the scripting plugin, but I'm already stuck doing something simple like adding an extra Images layer.

If you need more information, please contact me.
