Cache optimizing

Hi,

It would be very useful to have some "cache optimizing" feature. E.g., "remember" deleted images, and on some button click remove them from cache also (of course, doing this without "click" would be the perfect way, but button is OK :))

Situation: Imported 1 DVD full of images, thumbnail size 640x480 (version 1.21 beta 1; good new feature for working with offline images, thanks a lot :)). Cache file is ~727 MB. After deleting some (~2000) images size of cache file is still the same. The only way to reduce it is to recreate all the thumbnails -- rather time consuming method, and rather uncomfortable one, if all the DB is of offline (CD / DVD / USB etc.) media images.

And, by the way, is there a way ("something hidden" in configuration file) to change location of cache files? I like to keep "C:" drive as clean from useful data as possible (and cached files of this software are useful data :))

Re: Cache optimizing

Hi Guoda,

The cache actually does not remember the the deleted image, only the space allocated, this is done in order to prevent fragmentation of the cached file, the space is 'Marked' as free and later on used by another image.

I am currently working on a shrink option to solve the issue you have described, I hope to add it to the current beta.

There is currently no way to change the location of the cache file but I will add that to.

Thanks And Regards,

Asaf.
