Description
It seems that QtLocation's Map saves tile PNGs under $HOME/.cache in a single application-specific directory. This is inconvenient for two reasons.
(1) Putting a huge amount of files in one directory makes it slow for file browsers to view, especially using a remote connection, e.g. viewing files on a mobile device using a desktop system.
(2) The usual common way (a personal observation of what I have come across) is
{tile-source-name}/
{z}/
{x}/
{y}.png. Deviating from this makes if difficult to copy tiles across cache directories of different map applications or from a server to an application tile cache. Due to roaming data costs it is not uncommon to have to resort to copying files around.
