XnView Software

hi,
i know, there are some threads about caching and other cache optimizing issues.
maybe, if this report isnt a double-entry, you could merge this post with them, because 1)+2) are still not workin in 1.80.3.


1)
options->browser->cache
click on "cached directories" or "images" or "size" to sort the entries.
it will not sort.

2)
click on "optimize".
after optimizing your cache, you will see folders that doenst exist anymore on the harddrive,
but the entries "cached directories" "images" "size" are showing "P:\pics\folder" "24" "185.75KB" or something...
while other entries show images "0" and size "26bytes" where a lot of pictures are in this folder.

isnt optimizing deleting all the folder-entries xnview doesnt need anymore?

I think that for next BIG release, i'll change the way to cache thumbnails, and i'll use a true DB for that.

Hi Pierre,

What i am missing is the possibility to set a maximum size on the cache folder.

Hi Martin,

welcome to the forum!

Please check this topic - Limit Cache Option.

The main problem in cache from my point of view is speed.
When I enter a directory where there are a lot of images ( >500)
the PC gets stuck for fews seconds. This is annoying.

Xnview shall just display current images & update in background.

Easy to say but maybe complex to do !
