[Tilesathome] Suggestions for removing t at h client options

[spaetz]

Hi, I will do (some of the) following suggestions if nobody speaks up against it:

There is a plethory of command line options for tilesGen, not all of which ii find useful. It's a quite a bit of duplicatedcode paths, so it's hard to add something without forgetting those other ones.

1) Remove "tilesGen.pl update". The update check is run anyway for all modes basically, so no need for a separate option.

2) There are tons of upload options: "upload", "upload_conditional", and "upload_loop". I can see why upload and upload_loop could be required (although it would remove a duplicate code path if we made 'loop' just an option to "upload", ie. "./tilesGen.pl upload [-loop]"). But is there anyone using upload_conditional? It's supposed to upload only if there are enough files, but we don't use that at all. Also, the regular "upload" should be uploading stuff if it makes sense and not otherwise, so I don't think this makes any sense. I would like to remove "upload_conditional" if nobody complains.

3) If no option is given at all, it fetches one request from the server, renders it and exits without uploading. Is this something people are actually using? If yes, should we combine this with the "loop" mode and make "-loop" and option, just like it could be used for the upload thing?

I see that others use the client in different situations and might need different things, but as it is right now, there is new stuff added all the time, and I'd like to consolidate some of it.

let me know what you think,
