You will see a difference if you open a cover view with a lot of albums and increase picture size to 200px (that's the only size currently specifically cached for this GUI, other sizes (e.g. the 50px used in normal lists) were already cached before by default (for the standard web GUI etc.))

Only one copy of a cover or a booklet. What's the result of the script I posted a couple of weeks ago? Does is list images twice as well? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roland0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56808 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98186 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
