I would like to fix broken URLs in the source tag of many objects and also include a "GPS;" prefix. I will need to change the domain name and insert the prefix. This is not something that can be done with the simple UI editor of Id or JOSM. Is there a way (JOSM?) to edit objects manually using text manipulation (.osm extension?) before uploading them to OSM? asked 26 Sep '21, 08:27  cmoffroad |

what about you:
(but I support the answer by h_mlet, the OP's question is really a very good use case for level0) answered 26 Sep '21, 13:32  mariotomo edited 25 Nov '21, 13:48 |
I've never used it myself, but Level0 editor was made for that kind of operation I think. Regards. answered 26 Sep '21, 14:22  H_mlet I also keep hearing about this "level0" and I still can't decide I should try it out. ;-) (26 Sep '21, 18:52) mariotomo |
If the objects you want to modify have some common tag, and others have not: - Download area of interest to JOSM. - Search all objects after the unique property. - Select all found objects. - Change the tag/tags. (Which mean all the found objects are changed simultaneously). - Upload answered 28 Sep '21, 08:00  Msiipola |
Try Level0 (http://level0.osmz.ru/). You can copy the text into an editor like VSCode or Sublime Text where you can do advanced string manipulations, using RegEx for example. When done, copy the text back to Level0. answered 28 Nov '21, 05:17  Privatemajory |
curious: What is a "GPS" prefix in an URL?
And a thought: Does it make sense to update
sourcetags at all, where we usually tag the sources to the changesets nowadays?hi. don't forget to accept an answer, otherwise your question will still figure as unanswered.
