[Qgis-user] OpenStreetMap - Cannot load open ways

[Tony Bazeley]

Many thanks to the author of the new OpenStreetMap loading arrangements.

It looks like an excellent tool but I'm having some trouble using it in 
v2.4 under Ubuntu 14.04.
In short the osm data attached appears to be loaded correctly into the 
spatialite database, but extraction from the database into qgis is 
incomplete.

This image 
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/sv9nwif19ko5txe/OSMComparison.png?dl=0> shows 
the open(red) and closed (green) ways loaded in relation to the OSM 
background. Purple shows the extraction mask used.

Paraphrasing the three qgis menu steps involved

1. Vector>OpenStreetMap>Download data -  I can download the required 
data from OSM
2. Vector>OpenStreetMap>Import topology from XML - The data seems to be 
loaded correctly into a database
3. Vector>OpenStreetMap>Export Topology To Spatialite - fails to load 
open ways as expected.

Querying with the Spatialite Gui indicates that open ways are loaded 
into the database 
<%3Chttps://www.dropbox.com/s/n9dhtt04ccnysw9/TestOSMWays01.db?dl=0%3E> 
but fail to be extracted into the display table.
It looks like the same issue holds for closed ways, although I haven't 
examined them in detail.

I haven't tried accessing OSM data in this way and am a beginner when it 
becomes to spatial databases so would appreciate any guidance before 
filing what I believe is a bug.

Thanks
Tony
