Hi, What do you think about keeping the whole tileset (for z12) in one file?
The file will use this format: offset to tile 1 offset to tile 2 .. offset to tile 1300 tile 1 tile 2 ... tile 1300 The offset will have following values: 0 - tile is blank land 1 - tile is sea any other - offset to place where tile data are saved Uploading will be much easier than now, it will just save file uploaded by client to correct place, no zip extraction will be necessary. Getting tile will get a bit more complicated. It will have to read file header to get tile offset and size and then read tile from file. Performance - uploading will get definitely faster. Downloading should get faster too. Getting tile offset is extra work, but file header will often get cached and having much smaller number of files should make things faster. Before anyone asks, I don't have time to implement this now. But if this turn out to be a good idea I might have time for doing it in summer. -- Jiri Klement _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tilesathome
