Description Simon 2009-12-31 20:16:33 UTC

Version:           1.1.0 (rev.: 1066990) (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-2.slh.3-sidux-686

I'm displaying the images on OpenStreetMap. As I've mapped some streets there in the meantime I'd like to see them in the marble widget too, but the map seems to be cached and shows the old map (with nothing where should be streets).

Nothing can be done in digiKam. It's marble widget indeep...

As a workaround until that feature is available, you can clear the whole OSM cache by deleting the files in ~/.marble/data/maps/earth/openstreetmap.

Actually there's a refresh action now in the View menu in the marble KDE application and the kpart. It does trigger a re-download of the currently visible tiles.

It probably makes sense to make it available in the marble context menu (the one appearing when you click on the marble widget with the right mouse button). This way it can be used from within digikam and other applications embedding only the marble widget.

*looking forward to* :)

SVN commit 1081175 by nienhueser:

Make the reload map action available in the widget context menu so that it is easily accessible from applications embedding MarbleWidget.

Cannot backport this to KDE SC 4.4 because the change contains a new UI string, sorry.
