After a few days, the map folder gets filled up with tons of folders and even more hundreds (thousands) of tile pngs.
I use the script to merge them together into a single map, but this script doesn't delete duplicates or anything. I tried manually deleting duplicate tiles, and the merged map ended up with missing chunks. I also tried copying all the tiles from one folder into another, but the filenames clash and overwriting them corrupts the merged map.
My question being: How can I safely condense these 20+ folders and 2000+ files into a single folder without losing the ability to compile the complete map?
The script that merges them together into a single map - does it create a new folder with the map, or just give you an outputted googlemaps thingy with the contents of the final map? If it creates a new folder with the map correctly tiled out, that's fantastic, you can just keep that folder and then delete the old ones. If it does not create a new folder but just gives you the image of the final map in the googlemaps api -- you're kinda boned.

The problem is really that the script just does binary compares of images (I'm not sure if it does one or two) in order between folders in order to find "common ground" so that the tiles can fit together and be the same area but a most updated version of it. What I might suggest is figuring out the script by reading through it, then compiling a version that does the renaming for you... it's not the best option but hey you could fix your problem AND produce something AWESOME for the rest of the community.

Sorry for the lack of better options.
