Cache
Typed key for bulk-opening cached content by category. The phantom T carries the return type all the way from the call site through earth.worldwind.util.open, so cm.open(CacheCategory.Tiles) returns List<TiledImageLayer> with no as? cast and no reified type argument at the call site.
Mapping to the on-disk CacheEntry.DataType:
| Category | Data type | Returned layer/coverage type | Concrete subtypes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiles | TILES | TiledImageLayer | WMS / WMTS / WebMercator |
| VectorTiles | VECTOR_TILES | VectorLayer | MVT |
| Features | FEATURES | VectorLayer | WFS / Shapefile / OSM |
| Coverage | COVERAGE | TiledElevationCoverage | BasicElevation / WMS / WCS |
For narrower filters than a whole category (e.g. only WMS image layers), keep the returned list and add a .filterIsInstance<WmsImageLayer>() — there's no per-subtype key, because CacheCategory is intentionally coarse.
