Ratings: Storage

Post by marsh »

In Alpha3, it looks like ratings are stored in cache_thumb.db.
Should there be a seperate 'ratings.db'? This way it is a file rating, not just a thumbnail rating.

Storing all the info in one db file is fine... but
- should it be renamed to 'XnView.db' instead of 'cache_thumb.db'?
- all other caching (categories, ratings, etc...) should work, whether Cache of Thumbnails is enabled or not.

Makes sense. When changing, you should ensure that the old cache database is either migrated or deleted. It would be no good to have a cache file flying around that is no longer used.
