Option to save selected objects only

[naoliv]

It would have a checkbox to control if we would like to strictly save the selected objects only (ie, if we have a way selected, it would only save the way, without its nodes) or if we would like to save the complete object (way and nodes, in this example)

With "save" you mean the funtion usualy on Ctrl+S?
Why would you want to save a way without nodes? A way can't exist without nodes.

Yes, as Save or Save as (to create a local file).

Hum... indeed. I was thinking only in a case where the objects are already present in OSM (for example, when we download a .osc file and there are incomplete ways) or incomplete relations (without every member downloaded).

We have this option for upload but not for save.

ATM you need to:

1. create a new empty layer
2. select object
3. merge selected
4. save
