Yes, that is exactly where I was referring to. I seem to recall at one
point there being a way to select a media file there and on a pop-up
menu entry having access to the full file name in the cache. It has
been long enough ago that I forget the specifics.
but at present I am unable to locate it. I can of course select
an image and save it to a file elsewhere, but when I only need
the file for immediate use this requires me to take action to
delete this file when I am done with it.
Am I missing a setting somewhere? How can I access an image file
without needing to save it outside the cache for one-time-use
situations?

If I understand your question, Go->History .
I just tried it. Also found that using History's search box entering
"jpg" [without quotes] displayed only images in jpg format.
Nope, I am not after a link to the image file on the internet. I am
after the actual location of the image file saved in the disk cache.
I am looking for an actual fully qualified file name that I can paste
into an "open file" type dialog to access the image file from the disk
cache.
I don't see anything that will give you the name of the file in cache,
but maybe browsing thru all the image files in cache would be close
enuf? Something along the lines of
find $SEAMONKEYCACHEDIR -type f -exec file '{}' \; |\
grep PNG | cut -d: -f1 |\
awk '{ cmd="imageviewer " $0; print "" | cmd ; close(cmd)}'
where $SEAMONKEYCACHEDIR is the name of the SM top level cache
directory & "imageviewer" is the name of your image viewer program ?
Unfortunately there are thousands of images in the cache and and it
would be simpler to "save as" the image and then use that than to take
this approach. I am hoping to save some steps, not add another one.
