imagerycache should also create database files for WMS services

[rickmastfan67]

I just recently added a WMS tile imagery service to my copy of JOSM, but the imagerycache plugin doesn't store the images in a database file like it's TMS counterparts. Thus, it makes it hard to cleanup all the seperate image files from a totally different place where I store the imagery database files for quick access to delete when needed.

So, can WMS imagery sources gain access to the imagerycache's ability to merge all the image files into one database as well? Would save me time/file space and make them easy to cleanup.

I guess this is not so "critical" :)
I noticed the ticket and try to look. With the fixed WMS zoom levels implemented, this can be possible.

After looking at the code: adding WMS support is possible but hard enough to do in free 15 min. WMSCache class alternative is to be written from scratch (no common part with TMS loaders), core changes for replacing WMSCache are also needed.

Let us leave this ticket open...

HAHA, yeah, I know it's not that 'critical', but when you find out that the WMS source you were using left behind 500MB+ of data in several small files unlike all the TMS imagery sources when using this plugin, you'd understand why I initially made it as 'critical'. ;) Takes awhile sometimes to delete 500MB of files when they are all really small files sometimes. ;)

I understand :) I hope me or someone else will add the missing code at last (working on Gpx classes now).
For now you can try to use WMS as TMS: ​http://whoots.mapwarper.net/

Marking this as 'wontfix' since the plugin has been depreciated and something similar is now in 'core'.
