haimbilia Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 hi, the cache folder is getting ridiculously large, any way to disable it? also (just curiosity), can anyone kindly explain to me how moving a file from one folder to another folder on the same drive is making it load faster? is it because of relative paths? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Its not just moving the images, it is resizing them to the size the theme you use requires, which makes the file smaller so quicker to retrieve and show on screen. If you have a 1920x1080 image but the theme you use only uses that image in a very small 240x240 box, then it's resized to that size and stored in the cache folder.

neil9000 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 And no, it cannot be disabled. You can of course delete it and let Bigbox/Launchbox resize all the images again, this may save some space if you swap themes all the time and they all use different image types that you no longer need in your current used theme.
