update for version 13453 (maybe this layer state list should go to another page - but I cannot think of a good one...)

 There are different types of layers. Each has a Context Menu accessed from the right mouse button which provides operations on the layer.
 
- * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/osmdata_small.png)]] **OSM Data** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/OSMLayer (context menu)]: holds the OpenStreetMap data (nodes, ways, relations). During the upload process the icon changes to [[Image(source:trunk/images/clock.png,15)]]. For [wiki:Help/Action/ReadOnlyLayer read-only data layers] the icon is [[Image(source:trunk/images/lock.svg,15)]].
+ * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/osmdata_small.png)]] **OSM Data** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/OSMLayer (context menu)]: holds the OpenStreetMap data (nodes, ways, relations). \\ During the upload process the icon changes to [[Image(source:trunk/images/clock.png,15)]]. \\ ''For experts:'' Several attributes of an OSM data layer can be set: [wiki:Help/Action/EncourageDiscourageUpload upload], [wiki:Help/Action/BlockDownload download], [wiki:Help/Action/LockedLayer locked]. Layers in non-default state are indicated by a modified icon. This leads to those example layer states:
+   * normal layers: download allowed, upload allowed, modifications allowed
+   * layers needing work: download allowed, upload discouraged (set upload='false'), modifications allowed. These layers should usually not be uploaded. E.g. conversions of gpx tracks to data layers.
+   * test layers: download allowed, upload blocked (set upload='never'), modifications allowed
+   * private layers: download blocked (set download='never'), upload blocked (set upload='never'), modifications allowed
+   * locked layers: nothing allowed, the data cannot be modified in any way (set locked='true').
  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/gpx_small.png)]] **GPX** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/GPXLayer (context menu)]: holds the GPS data loaded from your local hard disk (by using the open dialog to load GPX files) or from openstreetmap. The context menu (right mouse click on layer in layer list) allows to set special properties for different gps layers (different colors, line style, etc.).
  * [[Image(source:trunk/images/layer/marker_small.png)]] **Marker** Layer [wiki:Help/Menu/Marker (context menu)]: Markers are specially identified points on the track. They come in four varieties: simple named markers, audio markers, image markers and web markers. They are created as a side effect of opening a GPX file, containing waypoints from that file, or from a set of waypoints artificially constructed using the context menu entry Make Sampled Audio Layer on the GPX layer, which produces only audio markers.
