Geonames issue

[tourist]

It appears that the service used by Downloader Pro (geonames) has changed their webservice and now require a username to be added to the request. There appears to be no way to make a change like this in Downloader Pro, any timeframe on when we can expect an update to deal with this?

The change was made on the 16th of March, I am very surprised that no one else has asked about this until now. Is no one else geotagging and using the geoname feature of Downloader Pro?

I've had no problems using the service from GeoSetter, athough the Geonames web service is down at present.

I used DLP to successfully download Geonames on March 23.

According to the Geonames website only two services require a username (due to an iPhone app which caused all iPhones to access the Geonames website at the same time). DLPro doesn't use either of these services and shouldn't be affected by this change.
