Re: index.cache file: safe to erase?

 

Hi Dotan,

I think it's safe to delete, but that Zim will recreate it.
It's the search index, and is what is rebuilt automatically
after content is added or edited.

I believe this is the file that is recreated when "Tools -> Re-build
Index" is selected.

So it is still used by Zim it seems.
