<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've noticed that splitter silently removes the "created_by" tag since version 8.
<br>
</p>
<p>I don't see a good reason for that, on the other hand we may also <br>
</p>
<p>implement a filter to remove more tags. <br>
</p>
<p>JOSM has a hardcoded list of tags which are silently removed when you edit an object.</p>
<p>The JOSM source file <span>OsmPrimitive.java</span> contains this list:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>"created_by", "converted_by", "geobase:datasetName", "geobase:uuid", <br>
"KSJ2:ADS", "KSJ2:ARE", "KSJ2:AdminArea", "KSJ2:COP_label", "KSJ2:DFD", <br>
"KSJ2:INT", "KSJ2:INT_label", "KSJ2:LOC", "KSJ2:LPN", "KSJ2:OPC", <br>
"KSJ2:PubFacAdmin", "KSJ2:RAC", "KSJ2:RAC_label", "KSJ2:RIC", "KSJ2:RIN", <br>
"KSJ2:WSC", "KSJ2:coordinate", "KSJ2:curve_id", "KSJ2:curve_type", <br>
"KSJ2:filename", "KSJ2:lake_id", "KSJ2:lat", "KSJ2:long", "KSJ2:river_id", <br>
"odbl", "odbl:note", "SK53_bulk:load", "sub_sea:type", "tiger:source", <br>
"tiger:separated", "tiger:tlid", "tiger:upload_uuid", "yh:LINE_NAME", <br>
"yh:LINE_NUM", "yh:STRUCTURE", "yh:TOTYUMONO", "yh:TYPE", "yh:WIDTH", <br>
"yh:WIDTH_RANK"</div>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Do you think that splitter should contain such a filter for tags? I think it would be easy</p>
<p>to add an option which would read a file with those tags or use a given one.<br>
