[OSM-talk] JOSM landsat plugin... do people want a 'slippy' style interface?

Yesterday Steve suggested that the Landsat plugin might be better if it 
adopted a slippy approach, i.e. as you move round the map, data automatically 
gets downloaded when you move into new areas. Or are people happy with the 
current approach of manually downloading data? 

If I remember right the slippy approach had some difficulties fitting round 
the internal architecture of JOSM so it would be quite a big job... hence I 
would only intend to do it if there was a big demand for it.

Whatever the case I aim to restore the feature in my hacked (pre-plugin) 
version of JOSM where you could download more than one landsat layer in and 
select between them.
