<div class="signature">Dear all,</div>

This topic pops up regularly on the mailing lists, but nothing happened lately.<br/>
The OS import tool is still not able to load features with node numbers exceeding the 32bit-unsigned limit, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/64-bit_Identifiers . As a consequence, features get lost, or lines and polygons don't get imported at all, as soon as recently added nodes are involved. This makes the importer quite useless.</div>

Following the discussion here at http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Suggestion-Remove-Vector-Openstreetmap-tool-from-QGIS-2-12-td5226614.html and on GIS SE http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/211000/is-there-a-qgis-tool-that-handles-osm-64-bit-identifiers-correctly I suggest to drop the 3-part importer from the Vector menu. Add vector layer and the QuickOSM plugin can import OSM data without the 32-bit limitation.</div>

It would be good to drop the item in the upcoming QGIS 2.18.</div>

Alternatively, somebody would have to change the data type for osm_id in the spatialite export (part 2 of the 3-part-importer) from integer to long integer or text.</div>
