Locked layers

Description

Beeing able to lock layers to prevent them from changes. When I collected data with osmand (which is imho a great tool) I import the .osc file into josm. I also download the area I want to edit into a different layer. This way I dont loose track of all the changes in the first layer and "move" them one by one in the downloaded layer.
When I work on a greater area I download only the surrounding of the object I want to change. This way it sometimes happens that I accidentally download into the first layer – then I loose track. So it would be very nice to be able to prevent this layer for downloading or have an option to download only in the other layer.

Replying to anonymous:

So, we need a feature to prevent download + merge.

As workaround you could always set the check box "download to new layer" and then manually merge plus keeping the original file/layer by cloning it.

Something like that would do.

Did that and it works but the other way would be more comfortable.

I just want to clarify "Prevent modifications" and "prevent them from changes":

prevent modification, but allow data inspection/exploration (at least by default) - this way you could use special layers at tutoring material.

Right now you are able to destroy tutoring materials during trial and error process.

Resolution:	→ fixed
Status:	new → closed

In 13453/josm:

fix #8039, fix #10456: final fixes for the read-only/locked layers:

rename "read-only" to "locked" (in XML and Java classes/interfaces)
add a new download policy (true/never) to allow private layers forbidding only to download data, but allowing everything else

This leads to:

normal layers: download allowed, modifications allowed, upload allowed
private layers: download allowed or not (download=true/never), modifications allowed, upload allowed or not (upload=true/discouraged/never)
locked layers: nothing allowed, the data cannot be modified in any way
