|    Finally found the problem with the thumbnails not showing up.  If
|    you had never run the settings dialog, then you wouldn't have a
|    value in the config file for the thumbnail cache, and as a result I
|    used a default, namely 4096. This number used to be kbytes, but at
|    some point in development I decided to change the unit to Mbytes.
|
|    So now the pixmap cache tried to allocate 4Gb, which it likely
|    failed, and thus it used 0 bytes instead. Due to the design of the
|    thumbnail loader, this resulted in the cache always being empty,
|    and thus the paint event never finding its images.
|
| I thought that there was another problem, though, whereby single
| images that are larger than the viewer cache caused a massive memory
| crunch.  In this case, the configurability both triggered the problem
| (when someone backed it down to 5 MB) and provided the hint and the
| workaround to the problem.
No, that was a different cache :-)
