Description
v12450 introduced resetting projection to default, and a new "set as default" button.
This might be nice for people who only rarely use a different projection, but is a regression when you regularly switch between them.
Yes there is imagery reprojection now, but I prefer to do my bulk work in the native projection of my imagery, for precision and performance issues.
So the reasons for restarting JOSM and for changing the projection are not the same. I need to continue in the same projection as I have closed JOSM with. So having any projection set as default is counter-productive.
Even worse, the preselected EPSG value in "By Code EPSG" is reset to Mercator (or probably what I set as the default projection).
So, please provide beside "set as default" the opposite of "remember last projection after restart".
In this context, I find that #7592 (fast switch projections) was closed prematurely in the reprojection euphoria, and it would be good to allow the display of the current projection in the bottom bar, at least in expert mode.

Please let us know if there are problems with precision (and performance as well)
I am still evaluating the precision, however depending on the system load, the extra step of reprojecting is sometimes visible.
It is planned to save the projection in the session file. Maybe this would be helpful for you?
Helpful indeed, as I save a couple of imagery layers as a session. Talking about sessions, a dialogue at josm start "Would you like to restore the previous session?", or a list of recent sessions, would be a good idea.
preselected EPSG value in "By Code EPSG" issue / willing to look into
thanks
keep the GUI clean and simple.
understood.

It is in File -> Open Recent

Maybe this could be integrated in "profiles", see #11914

Yes I know, but many modern applications offer to reopen a session (semi)automatically.
current projection --> "profiles"
good idea, anywhere where I see it on first glance.

This is an issue, I'm willing to look into.
I would prefer to keep the GUI clean and simple. The "set as default" button is already a concession to advanced users. Having a plethora of exotic and rarely used options is kinda "the JOSM way", but I don't like it all that much. Why don't you just click the "set as default" button each time you change the projection? We cannot cater to the specific conveniences of every power user.
