Lynn,
Are all / any of these map
changes going to break what I already have? I have Thunder
Landscape working fine, but it sounds like all of my map stuff
is going to get scrambled. Since I don't know what Meta/MB
tiles are, it's a bit of a worry.
The plan is to continue to support file-system-based tile storage
for the foreseeable future. It's just really space-wise
inefficient and hard to copy/move/share with others. So you can
rest easy knowing that I try not to be that short-sighted!
So if you could just give a
simple explanation of what the Meta/MB file structure changes
are going to destroy in my current tile file structure system,
it would be nice.
That's a good idea. I'll have to cobble up a Wiki explanation
page once I figure out what the final look will be. I'm hoping
that all NEW Tile Sets will be created with MBTiles databases
rather than file-system-based storage. Only existing (and
non-migrated, see e-mail about Migrate) Tile Sets will continue to
use the individual tile files.
By the way, the 2020/05/14
10:48 version takes a lot longer to exit/close the program than
anything previous. I just timed closing the program at 11
seconds after I hit "Really close? YES". And
that's after only having the program running for 15 seconds.
That is worrisome. Do you have any *.dmz or *.dmp files showing
up in the runtime directory? It almost sounds like it's dumping
itself during the exit.
