WIP to reflect the changes from #8039 [and #10456].

Context Menu > OSM Data Layer

Data layers contain map data objects downloaded from OpenStreetMap or created and edited by users, usually meant to upload them back to OSM. Special layer states may block this.

Context menu

OSM data layers have following context menu:

source:trunk/images/dialogs/activate.svg Activate Shift+A+[0-9]
source:trunk/images/dialogs/showhide.png Show/Hide Shift+S+[0-9]
source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png Delete
source:trunk/images/dialogs/mergedown.png Merge
source:trunk/images/dialogs/duplicatelayer.png Duplicate
source:trunk/images/save.png Save
source:trunk/images/save_as.png Save as ...
source:trunk/images/exportgpx.png Export to GPX ... (expert mode only)
source:trunk/images/converttogpx.png Convert To GPX Layer (expert mode only)
source:trunk/images/dialogs/edit.png Rename Layer
source:trunk/images/no_upload.svg Encourage/discourage upload (only in expert mode)
Data consistency test

Layer States

Normally all actions are possible with the data in a layer. But three switches can change this:

Layer State Upload Download Block Behaviour
source:trunk/images/layer/osmdata_small.png Default . . .
source:trunk/images/warning-small.png Rework false . . Warn before upload
source:trunk/images/warning-small.png Test/Blocked never . . Download and edit
source:trunk/images/warning-small.png Private never never . Only editing
Locked . . true No action possible

The Upload switch can be toggled to false with Upload the context menu mentioned above. For all other switches the .osm-file must be edited with a text editor:

# Default file header 
# Implying upload='true', download='never' and locked='false'
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM'>

# To warn before uploading. Same as Upload='checked' in 
# the Layer list context menu for the OSM data layer
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM' upload='false'>

# To block uploads
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM' upload='never'>

# To block downloads:
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM' download='never'>

# To lock a file. 
# This implies download='never'
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM' locked='true'>

Do we need separate HelpTopics like this while having no GUI? Help/Action/BlockDownload and Help/Action/LockedLayer
