OAuth Login for permanently saving custom categories

[natrius]

I think it would be nice to be able to login with the osm oauth-account and then being able to save categories permanently. As i use some to check one some stuff i entered regularly it would be nice.

Interesting idea! I would actually split this into two different features:

• Save list custom categories in current session (the sessions are quite long-lasting, so this should be sufficient when always using the same browser)
• Saving session data in user profile (via OAuth login)

Session data also includes the Options (Language, Coordinate format, ...)

About the custom categories: I could add an action 'pin custom category', so that they are loaded again after reload.

A question arises when modifying a pinned custom category. Do you think the modified category should replace the pinned category? Or should I ask the user via popup?

Ask the user via popup and a checkmark to "not ask me again" or something like that sounds like an good idea. Or a 'settings-switch' kinda thing in the popup. Replace/Create new when editing.

Another option could be, to disable editing of a custom category when it is pinned, but add a 'clone' button as for normal categories.

How do you like it?

I like it a lot, already shared what i entered recently with others! Thanks a lot! Depending on if you want to implement a OSM-Login you can close this issue, if you want.
