remote control: set default to download to new layer

[skyper]

Please

As long as #7489 is not fixed set the default for remote control to download to a new layer

Thanks

EDT: Call this a defect as undo is impossible and download to new layer seems to me the better choice.

I disagree. Not downloading to a new layer has been in use for several years now. The undo-ability exists for a few months. Therefore, I'd stick with the old beaviour.

Think of a new user trying to fix some bugs using the remote control feature and having to deal with 20 open layers at some point …

There is Download objects to new layer setting under Preferences/Remote control which seems to do exactly that.

No, undo has, as far as I know, never worked. It seems to be a bigger problem. I would prefer to get undo working but, sorry, I do not see it happen quite soon. Please surprise me.

I remember some time ago, propably before core integration, you were always ask about opening a new layer or not.

I disagree too, this change would upset a lot of people. Especially when using QA tools such as Osmose in France, it is highly appreciated to download only erroneous primitives, one by one, during a QA mapping session. Creating a new layer for each primitive would be terribly annoying.
