Download Queue (FIFO vs LIFO) #204

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
 Change the download queue to "Last In First Out"

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
 The most recent maps will the first shown.

 I was showing GMapCatcher to a friend and he zoomed in all the way down and the map showed a "blank" screen with the downloading, it took a while to show the images not a very nice first impression, I guess we could change the Queue to LIFO in that way it download first the latest tiles.

The only problem that I see is that Queue.LifoQueue is "New in version 2.6"
