Add a way to choose between several OSM accounts

[vinber]

I have several osm accounts, especially pro and personal accounts.

When I want to upload, I'd like to be able to choose between several accounts.

It's not essential, it's to make the separation between pro and personal easier.

Simply start JOSM with different HOME-Directories using different config in each: See Help/CommandLineOptions.

sorry if i don't understand.
I doesn't want to open josm with a special account, but choose a identity when i want to upload

Thanks for the tip, though.

You can enable to show the user name of the currently active OSM user in main header and change the user in preferences but there is not quick possibility in e.g. upload dialog.

Personally, I stay with own preferences for each OSM user as my general settings are different for each user.

Replying to skyper:

ok, thanks, good tips !

and change the user in preferences

yes, it's my actual way

but there is not quick possibility in e.g. upload dialog.

it was my "request", it's been closed, ok, I don't want to insist...

josm is open all day long and I don't think about changing the user in the preferences before uploading. Hence my request, but I'll think about another way to do it

Thanks for yours tips
