[RC5] Not caching as expected

Size is not a problem for me, speed is very important. So I decided to cache my pictures once and for all. I've got 2519 files and 56 folders in D:\My Pictures
The most convenient way I found was to search *.* in My Pctures (include subfolders) then click View.
That being done, I don't see any subfolders in options->cache, only My Pictures with ~2587 (not always the same number!) images in it. (
screenshot)
Same result if I selected Compression=none BUT then xnview always crashes at startup, it will crash until I delete the cache folder
(win xp sp2)

Perhaps a problem, could you try to view with the browser your folder and all subfolder first. Wait that all thumbnails are created.
And after take a look at Options/Browser/Cache

Yes, in fact I think there was 2 different things in my post:
First, you see it on the screenshot, caching via search did not really work, and it didn't do the expected "full caching" because when I open a subfolder it gets cached again.
Second, I'm not sure about this, but it seems that xnview will crash when the cache exceeds a certain size. Selected "compression: lossless" and no problem to view all the folders one by one (final cache size = 18.6 MB), but in "compression: none" it crashed near the end (the cache size was 30.8 MB then).

Hmm not so simple... I increased thumbs size (120x90 instead of 90x69) and no crash (cache was more than 35 MB though)
I could be wrong again, but it looks like the crash only occurs when "compression: none" was chosen
Can you reproduce or is it just me??

Perhaps it helps: win xp event viewer always reports the same fault address (0x00020c83).

Ok, i'll check.

Perhaps this info helps:
I have set caching compression to "None", thumbnails to large size (768x576) and browsed some directories, one with about 150 images.
Then I checked the thumbnail cache: Size was 191 MB (so larger than 32 MB).

And no problem?

No problems. No crash. Just the caching of the very large thumbnails was not much faster or even slower than reading the originals. But 768x576 pixel large thumbnails are very unusual - I think.

Often happens when I click the +/- in the folder tree (and compession none), for example D:\my pictures\foo\bar\ is expanded and then I click on the - beside my pictures.
Could be some files it doesn't accept, or Win XP (SP2) only, or because my xnview (cache included) folder isn't on C: (D: partition)... I'll try and investigate more when I've got the time
