Description
If I want to view a temporary local copy of a remote file with FileZilla right now, the only quick option I have is the "View / Edit" button in the context menu. Unfortunately, this always starts a "local editing context" whereby if I modify the local temp file, FileZilla prompts me to upload the file. I don't like this because it makes it too easy for me to accidentally make changes to remote files when I don't intend to; I want to have to explicitly upload a file to change the remote file.
Please add a setting that will change the remote file's context menu entry to "View temp copy", and when this is clicked it simply creates a copy in Temp, views it, and does not open a "local editing context". Any changes made to the file will have no effect on the remote copy and you won't be prompted to upload the changes.

Added a patch for this functionality. I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be filed under "Patches" so I'm putting it there too.
