Download without Data

[rayquaza]

I guess this change breaks my use-case: ​https://github.com/Gnonthgol/JOSM-continuos-download/commit/30d38fedc28b74b9d78528cac8be7b523f8fa116

I'm using continuosDownload because I want to start with Mapnik in a region-size view, zoom to where I want to edit and only load a tiny area by activating continuosDownload only shortly. Therefore it would be great to have the old behaviour without this check.

The downloaded data does not have to be in view. I recommend that the first time you zoom to an area you click the normal "Download data" button and then just "OK" which will download the data in your current view. ContinuousDownload will then continue to download data as you zoom and pan around.

[rayquaza]

But this resets the location at which JOSM starts. Besides that it unneccessaryly takes longer (Pressing a button twice versus searching "Download data").

Untested Patch, assuming there's no other reason behind the change than usability for other users:
Change Line 30 to

if (existing.size() == 0 && Main.pref.getBoolean("plugin.continuos_download.check_datalayer", true))

Can you please discuss this on ​Github? Thanks.

Well I don't want our Trac instance overwhelmed with changes that should be discussed on Github, so I'm closing this one as well.
