Update all categories at once

[eddydc]

Not really an issue but an annoyance bothering me for a long while. I would like to update all pois for all categories at once instead off doing this per category separately. I've a large number of pois and categories.
Can this option be provided pls?

update all pois for all categories at once

I suggest this not be literal and, instead, put all requests into a queue which is handled M at a time (M=2 might be a sensible default).

Especially for the case of different datasets using the same hostname, do not open more than 2 (as per the HTTP spec) concurrent connections to the same host. While fetching, don't have more than S outstanding / ongoing requests to any individual host (S=2 as default?). Though, I doubt that PinPoi uses HTTP pipeline-ing.

Some of the data sources I use, dynamically-generate the response, so I would like (read: need) the following:

• retention of manually updating each Collection, individually
• being able to limit requests to 1 at a time, for that host
• there being a sleep / cool down period, between the last query and the next, to that host

Additionally to being able to update

• individual collections
• everything / all collections

Being able to

• update per-category (all collections within that category, but nothing else)
• regularly update on a schedule (optionally only when connected via unmetered 802.11); this seems better handled in a separate ticket, which I'll open, but thought it worth noting for informing implementation design
