"Download from OSM along this track" focus grabbing annoyance

[Chris Bainbridge <chris.bainbridge@…>]

The "Download from OSM along this track" function has an annoying feature when large tracks are downloaded - it pops up many individual modal dialogs that grab the mouse focus. If a large track is being downloaded, say 50 tiles, this can take many minutes (10 seconds per tile at 50 tiles will take over 8 minutes). In this time it is difficult to do anything else with the desktop, since every 10 seconds JOSM pops up a new dialog and grabs the focus.

Solution: For multiple tiles a single dialog should be used. This would allow the user to go browse the web, or use a terminal, while JOSM is downloading data. Alternatively, the popup should not be used, or should not grab focus.

Note: If this bug is fixed the following should be fixed also:

For each download a new dialog box is displayed: If one download is aborted only this one is aborted and the next download does on. If one was aborted there is an error displayed at the end ("Socket closed").

I'm working on PleaseWaitDialog refactoring. One of the new features is groupping of tasks. So when it's finished then this should not be a problem anymore.
