Linux Does XBMC use a thumb cache for loading pictures?
#1
hi all,

I just wondered if XBMC works by creating an index or a cache (or both) for pictures?

My pictures are on an external USB hard drive and aren't lightening quick to access, but I love when showing off my XBMC when the thumbs are already loaded for each folder.

I'm on Dharma if it matters

The thumbs are cached, the images aren't.

userdata/Thumbnails. You can see query the cache via userdata/Database/Textures*.db
