The behaviour you describe is mostly intentional.
- Renders n x n tiles into .png files ( 2 x 2 for the zoom = 1 in your
example)
- Reads in these n x n files, creates 1 .meta tile as a archive of
the .png and then removes the .png
- When it gets a request for a tile it should extract it from the .meta
file instead of rendering again.
You should not need to run convert_meta on the files. It is intentional
that the code stores and serves the the data from the .meta files.
convert_meta is really just there in case you want to debug the .meta
files, it should not be required in normal operation.
