How to disable the plugin

[cocoaaa]

Hi, thank you for this useful plugin.
I'm trying to figure out how to disable the plugin momentarily so that I can navigate to different places in the map without go2mapillary loading data at the new locations. I unchecked the plugin in QGIS's plugin setting window which didn't stop the plugin, and also tried deleting the auto-generated Mapillary layer in the Layers panel which didn't help either. Now, everytime I move in the map, go2mapillary is being triggered to load the data. Can you please tell me if there is a way to disable the plugin? #19 seems relevant, but I don't see any such button in my plugin. Thank you!

Mapillary delivers imagery info as mapbox vector tile. If you want to interact with it you have to download and decode mvt for every zoom change. You can avoid downloading simply unchecking plugin toolbar icon button that acts as a checkbox. Closing dockwidget does not the same. Unchecking toolbar icon button will also hide Mapillary layers group

I had a look to your profile and I see that you are working on CV, so I would want to point your attention to widesight, a framework of tools for storing, managing and viewing street level imagery. In few words, A DIY Mapillary service. I developed a django backend as REST service: https://github.com/enricofer/wide_sight that can easily extended to perform further image processing, a viewer https://github.com/enricofer/wide_sight_frontend and some tools to help massive upload: https://github.com/enricofer/wide_sight_utils
I would be happy if you could have a look to it

Thank you for pointing me to widesight. I'll try it and let you know.

I have a problem similar to the one @cocoaaa mentioned. Everytime I move the map in QGIS go2mapillary loads a new mapillary layer. This happen even after clicking the toolbar icon and after deleting the mapillary layer. It seems to be a bug.

I use the current QGIS LTR 3.10.3.

EDIT: I use the current go2mapillary version from the QGIS repository.

When you push on toolbar icon, the one with mapillary symbol, the plugin widget appears docked on the left and starts downloading coverage. If you want to disable it simply push on the button to unckech it. The plugin widget and mapillary layers will hide and download will stop.
Avoid to manually delete mapillary layers for preventing loading issues and exceptions.

That's how I do it, deactivating the plugin using the toolbar icon. But sometimes (not in all cases) the plugin keeps loading the mapillary layer, even if the button is unchecked and the widget is already closed.

This seems to happen only when using the plugin actively before deactivating it, but I can't tell where exactly the bug comes from. If I activate it, let the layer load and deactivate it right away it seems to always work as intended.
