Different colors for ways that are new and modified

[bryceco]

If you want to experiment with this you can add

if object.isModified() {
    renderInfo.lineColor = .red
}

here:

GoMap/src/Shared/EditorLayer/RenderInfo.swift

Line 122 in 8c4cfe2

This won't work with nodes however.

I am trying to get it to build, but I can't get the dependencies installed. Xcode shows KissXML and FastCodable as corrupted. I was not able to find a source for FastCodable and were not able to get KissXML fixed. How do you install them?

[bryceco]

FastCodable is my own thing:
https://github.com/bryceco/FastCodable

Not sure about the corruption thing you're seeing. You get that when you use File > Packages > Resolve Package Versions?

I got it working. I renamed the file GoMap/src/iOS/Go\ Map\!\!.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/swiftpm/Package.resolved to ignore.Package-resolved and Xcode automatically fetched the dependencies. I left it as is, but I guess it could be deleted.

I tried 4 different combinations. I prefer the third one since it is more obvious and the border doesn't look weird when it is next to other ways, but the first or the fourth one are not bad options. What do you think?

1. renderInfo.lineColor = .red

2. renderInfo.lineColor = .purple
   renderInfo.areaColor = .blue

3. renderInfo.areaColor = .blue

4. renderInfo.lineColor = .purple

If we decided to incorporate something like this (and I'm far from convinced it's something people want in general) then it should work equally well for areas, ways and nodes. And it would be nice if it didn't hide what type of feature it is (e.g. sidewalk vs path), which means it should probably be a treatment on the casing.

I agree with you. I am not sure what the best way to do this is. For ways, I'm thinking that some sort of pattern such as stripes where every other one is a lighter shade of the features color could work, but I don't have any ideas for ways and nodes.
If a good amount of people are not interested in this, then it is probably not the most important thing to focus on.

Nobody has jumped in to support this idea, so I'm closing for lack of interest. Sorry!
