I seem to recall the ability in the past to access an image
file in
the disk cache from the media table in the page information,
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?

You may use http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/image_cache_viewer.html
and .....
When selecting a cache item in the upper pane of
ImageCacheViewer, the
image is displayed in the lower pane, and you can copy the
image to
the
clipboard by pressing Ctrl+M.
then CTRL-V into IrfanView where you can do what you want with
this
image.
Hmm, that seems to provide a Windows solution. "Unfortunately,"
I am
a linux user and need a solution I can use here.
A bit of searching found me a perl tool, but unfortunately that
will
only work if the browser is closed as a key file is kept in memory
while the browser is operating.
Thanks for the pointer, perhaps someone else knows of a linux tool
and
I will keep looking myself.

Could this one help ?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
It is unclear to me what additional features this add-on offers from
the description, and given it is a FireFox add-on it would need to be
converted to run with SeaMonkey.
Sometimes there is no need for a conversion.
Does anyone have it installed and can tell me if it is possible to
get
the actual full file name for a cached image file with it?
You tell me that i must install this extension on my SM to do your
test ?
What will you do with this file name:
~/.cache/mozilla/seamonkey/{SALT}.default/Cache/A/32/2D35Fd01 ?
The only way to catch it into an image-program is to see it per
exemple
inside https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
and do there a "COPY" then start your prefered image-program and do a
"PASTE".
Normally all image-programs are unable to open a file when this
filename
did not contains an "image-extension" like .jpg.
I was not telling you to do so. I was simply asking if anyone who
already had it installed could tell me in advance if it had the
feature I needed.
Many programs, Gimp for example, don't mind working without an
extension and inspect the file content to see if they recognize it. So
while the extension makes it easier for users to determine what a file
is by inspection it is by no means a requirement.

Anyway when you are on a page, you can simply rigth-click on an image
and take the choice "Copy Image" ..then you "paste" it into your program
without the need of a filename.
I saw that choice, but when I attempted to do so with the program I
wanted to paste the image into what was pasted was the URI, not the
image itself. I had assumed that this would be universal, but given
your suggestion I tried another program and found it pasted the image
as desired.
This suggests of course that the program needs to be fixed. As this
was the sole reason for this thread, I will consider this topic closed.

Sometimes, I got also the URI instead of the image, so I modify my actions:
1. When you are on a page, you can simply rigth-click on an image
and take the choice "VIEW Image"
2. Then a new SM window opens with only that image in the center.
3. Then you can simply rigth-click on an image
and take the choice "COPY Image".
4. Paste into your program.
