I did not follow this conversation closely, but here are my comments: Keep in mind that most LyX users do not know what a file cache is. Can you describe exactly what's being cached in the tooltip? Maybe you could use the word "remembered" instead of "cached" in the tooltip because it is a more user-friendly word? A tooltip for maximum age would also be useful. e.g. "after this amount of days, ..." I wonder if the cache should expire after e.g. 60 days, or after 60 days since the last use of the file. For example, I (think I) would want it to be 60 days since the last use of the file, but I don't know if that's what would be best for the general user. I think you want some kind of validator for the maximum age. I put in a negative number and after saving it turned it into 49651.3. I'm guessing you want to restrict to only non-negative integers? Look at other places we use validators for similar text boxes. Also what would happen if I put in 0? Does that effectively mean the converter file cache is disabled? Or is it a special value that means "never expire"? Thanks for your work on this! Scott
