I vote against it. If you look at the cache code, you will see that I took extra work to not cache the image thumbnails. The reason is simple. I have a directory with images from one vacation. When I enter this in Freevo, Freevo hangs for about 2 secs. This is bad, but it would be much worse if the cache contains the thumbnails. mmpython reads the pickled data from the cache. This takes some time. With image thumbnails in it, my vacation directory cache went up to 9 MB!. So adding mp3 images to it may not a good idea. > It would be easier to put right into Freevo, but not very clean. We have to think about that (also in the context of image thumbnails). Were to store the information that we have a thumbnail/cover? Were to put that cover? What should mmpython know, what should it cache?
