Inconsistency?

[tracker51]

Hi,

I have been mapping with Potlatch since the beginning of my "career" ;-). Recently I was surprised that a footpath I had mapped was not rendered on Carto.

At some point later it occurred to me that I had been fooled by Potlatch: to map the footpath, I first went to the "Simple" edit frame. There I found "my" footpath tag:

Thereupon I switched to the "Advanced" field, brashly entered "highway=footpath" and wondered for days that the path, as I said, was not rendered. Finally I found the error:

This

way it would have been correct and is now also entered this way.

Therefore my question: Would it make sense to use the correct designation ("footway") in the "Simple" frame as well?

BTW: Is it possible to add a kind of scale to Potlatch's map frame so it is more easy to map objects the right size? Maybe on the upper side of the small trash bin/scissors/etc. window ?

Best regards
