same.<br></pre></blockquote>---------<br>I don't quite understand this comment. Does this mean that when I delete the original image from the disk (but not KPhotoAlbum), YOU delete the thumb? If this is the case, that explains my problem. I thought the thumbs should remain unless I delete the image from the Album (i.e. I guess that would mean the KPhotAlbum library). <br><pre><br></pre><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><pre>In the kde4 branch, we've switched to a new way of thumbnail storage; <br>now we use another format, which is a bit more space hungry, but a lot <br>faster.<br><br>Cheers,<br>-jkt<br><br>------------------------------<br></pre></blockquote>I assume that you must start deleting thumbs from $HOME/.thumbs when the size exceeds the maximum cache size is exceeded. Is that correct? Do you have any recommendations for that
