Perhaps, but DT definitely isn't a good option, unless they want to refactor. DT's image cache format is still really unstable (in the sense that it usually ends up requiring a full regeneration every couple months in master). Moreover, DT stores a _ton_ of info in its database that we shouldn't touch or be able to muck with. For instance, the image selection logic uses the database to store state (this is part of why image selection in DT is so horribly slow).
Moreover, DT uses much more aggressive caching than geeqie will need to, since DT performs a ton more computation than geeqie to render a standard image. DT also does all kinds of mipmap caching to avoid scaling, but the scaling performance in geeqie seems really good already. --xsdg > > David > > On 12-08-17 09:20 AM, Uwe Ohse wrote: >> That certainly needs some kind of database.
