preload mapillary images in a sequence

[richlv]

sometimes one might want to do some mapping by walking through a mapillary sequence. currently, every image is downloaded only when requested, which slows things down a lot.
it would be nice to detect that user has started on a sequence (let's say, pressed pgdown/nextimage two times ?) and preload the upcoming images - maybe next 10 or so.

By default, since v1.5.0 the plugin always downloads sequences as a whole, it won't cut sequences when they run outside the download bounding box.

but that does not seem to relate to image preloading, does it ?

[floscher]

No, only the metadata (excluding username and creation timestamp, that would require a lot more API requests, more precisely one per image). Actual images are only loaded when selecting them, plus two images before the selected image and two after.

Ok, I'll reopen, I misunderstood your request.

This is now contained in the brand new release ​​v1.5.8, which can now be downloaded via the plugin updater in JOSM's preferences.
