[Bug 422198] Re: Please add option to clear cache files automatically
Gwibber has changed considerably since 1.2, it no longer caches image
previews. It does however cache avatars, but the code path is rather
different and the avatars are very small.
** Changed in: gwibber

Pasting Debian bug here. See: http://bugs.debian.org/544467 for more

Package: gwibber
Version: 1.2.0+bzr355-2
Hi,
I have been using gwibber for a few weeks (I think more or less since you have
announced the packages on your blog).
I use it with my Twitter account, and follow the public timeline.
I have just noticed Gwibber cache folder contains more than 120,000
pictures!
$:~/.cache/gwibber/images$ find -type f | wc -l
122489
$:~/.cache/gwibber/images$ du -sh
547M .
It seems these are thumbnails from the public timeline.
Maybe Gwibber could remove older pictures automatically? A config option with a
maximum age and/or total size should be perfect.
Thanks.
