I have pbf file downloaded from geofabric.de.
And i want edit it, but cannot open it in JOSM (pbf plugin installed). It outputs “Open file”, “Reading OSM data…” but then this window disappear and nothing happen. No layers appears, no error message, nothing at all.
Also i didn’t find any JOSM logs to get some information about possible errors.
If that file is large, say > 10 MB, you have to configure JOSM to use more java heap (use -Xmx=2GB or better more) .
If it is larger than > 50 MB you probably have no chance to edit it because JOSM will be very slow.
Think it’s the answer
File is very large - about 2GB. But i run it on powerfull server.
Running java without setting heap size said that limit of 14Gb memory exceeds. Now run it with -Xmx40000M but seems that it with fail to load again…
JOSM is not designed to edit such a huge file. I think even 10 MB pbf file is not worth to try, but JOSM can load it.
What do you want to edit in a 2GB extract?
