+		thumbnails</A> for details.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in">

+		caching method that is compatible with applications that use the
+		standard thumbnail specification. When this option is enabled
+		thumbnails will be stored in ($HOME)/.thumbnails</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in">
+		<B>Cache thumbnails into .thumbnails</B>: When enabled, GQview
+		attempts to store cached thumbnails closer to the source image.
+		This way multiple users can benefit from a single cache, thereby
+		reducing wasted disk space. The resulting location is the source
+		image's folder, in a sub folder with the name <B>.thumbnails</B>.
+		When the image source folder cannot be written, GQview falls back
+		to saving the thumbnail in the user's home folder.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none">
+		<B>Use xvpics thumbnails when found</B>: xvpics is a common
+		thumbnail caching format used by several applications. Thumbnails
+		are stored locally to the source image in a sub folder with the
+		name <B>.xvpics</B>. Enabling this option will allow GQview to read
+		thumbnails saved in the xvpics format.</DD><DL>
