I'm still unable to release, but I can comment some contribs. 2009/4/4 Jocelyn Jaubert <jocelyn.jaub...@gmail.com>: > * first patch is there to only download maps from the server if > the map file that we already have locally is not up to date.

My first comment concerns labels of these actions. I know this was already discussed with Quy, but I still feel labels quite confusing. Perhaps can we detail actions in tooltips? My second comment: do you think it is possible to add an automatic download mode? Currently, we have: Automatic download=yes/no. IMHO, it would be really usefull to be able to specify that a map should automatically download new tiles. Is it possible to hack viking in this way? Use case: 1) I add an OSM based map (regurlarly updated) 2) I select "Automatic download=refresh new tiles" (or something like this) 3) viking draws map with cache and check each viewed tile against server. If a new one is available, it is automatically downloaded.
