Loading multiple maps at the same time about blosm HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @frede791

Import of files with a custom name is already supported:

One needs to select file instead of server in the field Import from: and then set a path to the OSM file.

I'm not sure this is the use case I have? My idea is to parallelize the download from a server directly. So i run the import_data function that downloads the osm map from a server and this imports with a fixed name based on the counter. This doesn't work for me as I want to run the import_data function for lots of tiles simultaneously and to my understanding the counter stops this from happening.

A possible solution would be to download the required files with a custom script and then import them with the existing addon code.

The additional overhead from downloading, importing and arranging the tiles in blender is not worth it in my opinion. I have made minor extensions to the source code to enable the functionality I need. If you feel that this would be useful, I can make a PR?

What does the extension do?

Enables custom name support when downloading terrain data or osm tiles. What kind of formatter do you use? When I try to save my git changes I seem to change empty lines?

How is the custom name defined?

I need to understand if your solution is specific for your project or if it's a general-purpose.
