Description
It would be nice to have a new menu item (even if not on by default, at least available for users to manually add to their menu via the settings) to create a new layer with discourage upload set.
Similar to a Chrome incognito window.
The idea being if you want to work on some data locally, not for upload, you'd just create a new local layer, and then have all the usual warnings from a discourage upload layer applied automatically.
This would help prevent accidental upload to OSM of local data which can happen especially when working on some local data, then hours later you re-use your existing JOSM session via remote control to open unrelated data without realising it's still active.
sketched out what this might look like in https://github.com/JOSM/josm/pull/157
I'm not sure how to open a Pull Request on Trac, so I've attached the GitHub generated .patch file as an attachment here if that helps?
