lp:~stellarium/stellarium/gz_landscapePreload

Created by gzotti and last modified

Originally I wanted to allow preloading several landscapes to enable faster switching between them. This is useful mostly for larger installations and automatic scripted shows.
However, it turns out that we can introduce a complete caching behaviour here. Loading a big landscape may well take several seconds, no need to wait every time. We can "park" landscapes in a cache now. Cache size is configurable: config.ini/landscapes/cache_size_mb. Precaching is still possible, just ensure to set cache size high enough for your system.
