63 <DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in"><B>Cache thumbnails</B>: Enable
64 this to save thumbnails to disk, subsequent requests for a
65 thumbnail will be faster. Thumbnails are cached into
66 ($HOME)/.gqview/thumbnails. Refer to <A HREF="11_3_thumbnails.html">11.3
67 thumbnails</A> for details.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in">
68 <B>Use shared thumbnail cache:</B> This will use a thumbnail
69 caching method that is compatible with applications that use the
70 standard thumbnail specification. When this option is enabled
71 thumbnails will be stored in ($HOME)/.thumbnails</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in">
72 <B>Cache thumbnails into .thumbnails</B>: When enabled, GQview
73 attempts to store cached thumbnails closer to the source image.
74 This way multiple users can benefit from a single cache, thereby
75 reducing wasted disk space. The resulting location is the source
76 image's folder, in a sub folder with the name <B>.thumbnails</B>.
77 When the image source folder cannot be written, GQview falls back
78 to saving the thumbnail in the user's home folder.</DD><DD STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.2in; text-decoration: none">
79 <B>Use xvpics thumbnails when found</B>: xvpics is a common
80 thumbnail caching format used by several applications. Thumbnails
81 are stored locally to the source image in a sub folder with the
82 name <B>.xvpics</B>. Enabling this option will allow GQview to read
83 thumbnails saved in the xvpics format.</DD><DL>
