[josm-dev] Layer order and active layer

[Dirk Stöcker]

Hello,

I closed bug 371. Now it is no longer possible to change an inactive 
layer. As some mappers probably rely on this feature, I also did some 
other modifications:

a) The layer list order is now really 100%. This means active layer is no 
longer drawn on top.
b) The order in the layer list menu changed. The topmost layer now is also 
at the top (because the layer list and the layer list display used 
different directions and the difference was not handled correctly).
If this is too confusing (I find it more logical), we can turn it around 
again, but this time with proper handling of reversed layer list.
c) New layers no longer get automatically active. Only new OSM data layers 
are automatically activated. I hope that prevents 'I can't draw anything' 
bug reports.

Please report problems with this new setup, so these can be fixed.

One noteable result for the most often used workflow: If you load GPX 
first and OSM later, the GPX data will be on top now (useful I think).

Ciao
