Those same slow server platforms are also going take a very large scanning performance hit. If someone has no need for browsing images and just wants to do slide-shows, then a pref to disable pre-caching may be worth implementing. I think the reason that it needs to separate from the music library pref is that music libraries are (or should still be) the main focus of the server, and people _will_ be browsing the music library in either the web or SP UI. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90573 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
