Potlatch – the OpenStreetMap editor

One of the quickest ways to speed up your Potlatch editing is to turn off the ‘custom pointers’ – the little pen and hand pointers.These provide useful feedback as to what clicking on a given spot will do, but if you’re an experienced Potlatch user, you probably don’t need the help.

To turn off the pointers, just click the options window (the ‘tick’ icon) and uncheck ‘Use pen and hand pointers’. From then on, you’ll just have Flash’s standard arrow and finger pointers.

Potlatch remembers your preference, so you don’t need to do this every time you open it.
