I wonder if in the future, each 'cached' image (thumb / fanart etc) could have a link to its original source... AND for there to be an API from the UI (skin) to suggest optimal image sizing?
So basically, let's say a skin has movie thumbs of 300x600, then it could tell the XBMC engine to recache all movie thumbs with that resolution, and possibly be able to ask for cache or original image.
I readily admit this could be a P.I.T.A. to regenerate the cache for a skin change, but it could be an explicit UI option in the skin 'Optimise image cache for this skin'
Overkill maybe?
