Hi,

I noticed my darktable cache is taking much space. So I searced for a way to 
remove unused ones. Simple way would be to delete all and rebuild all. But I 
think this could be done better.

When I run darktable-generate-cache, I can see as last line:
image 19584/19584 (100,00%) (id:31521)
So I have 19584 pictures with highest ID 31521. In .cache/darktable/mipmaps-
xxx/0 I have 23321 files. In 1 are 23532 and so on. Seems like some thumbnails 
are not valid anymore.

I found purge_non_existing_images.sh and ran it. du wasn't changing. Had a 
look inside. I think it is purging the database file from unused pictures. 
Which is also good :-)

So here is my question: Is there a tool for removing obsolete thumbnails? I 
would prefer that over a complete rebuild.

I usually import all and then decide which one to delete. So there are always 
thumbnails generated which I don't need later.

Best Regards, Micha.
