OS:                Linux

I am using marble 1.3.0 on N900 (extras-testing repo).
I want to use a vector OSM map downloaded from
http://osm.kyblsoft.cz/archiv/
so I have chose "Osmarenderer" map in marble GUI.
But I see no way to import the file into marble
by its GUI nor I didn't find any tutorial how to
manually place the downloaded file into some folder
where can marble find and use it...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
choose "Osmarenderer" map in marble GUI

Actual Results:  
none

Expected Results:  
marble should provide import button for .OSM file
or it can show label with notice like
"Please place an .OSM file into folder ..."

Hello,

OSM file rendering is experimental, and works on the desktop edition using the file->Open feature. It will simply render your file using marble internal vector engine.

"OsmaRender" is a marble theme using tiles from Osmarender engine.

What you are asking is roughly on our roadmap, and we encourage developers to join us.
