           Summary: Marble does not use the shared tile cache on N900
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Maemo 5
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: marble-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: enrico at enricozini.org


Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

On the N900, ~/MyDocs/.maps is a container for a shared tile cache. It is a
fantastic thing, because it avoids having to fill the SD card with one copy of
the tile cache for every application that displays a map, and to having to keep
them all separately up to date.

This is used successfully, for example, by mappero, evopedia, map buddy,
modrana.

Marble instead uses ~/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/ and I couldn't
find any way to change that. The SD is formatted with a FAT-like file system
that doesn't support symlinks, so I cannot fix it by just symlinking the
openstreetmap directory in there to "~/MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I".

This is especially frustrating as the disk layout for the tile cache seems to
be exactly the same. It looks like a small change that would give enormous
gains.

Reproducible: Always
