Cachebrowser

Purpose

With the cachebrowser, you can check which files are (still) in the cache. You have options to view the cached objects, save them to another file, or delete them from the cache.

Opening the window

Select Cache / Cachebrowser... from the menu to open the cachebrowser window. If the cachebrowser window is already open, it will pop up to front, and will be activated.

The cache list

The list shows all cached objects. The following information is shown for each object:

URL: the Url (address) of this object.
Date: the date when it was retrieved.
Size: the size of the object in bytes.
Type: the MIME type of the object.
File: the file name of the object in the cache directory.

General information

Below the list there is a fuelgauge showing how full the cache is, compared to the configured cache size.

Also the number of files and the total occupied disk space is shown.

Sort by

Use the Sort by chooser to sort the entries in the list by their URL, their date (most recent will be shown first), or by their MIME type.

Open an object

If you have selected an object from the list, you can use the Open button to load the page in the current browser window. If it is an image, the external viewer for that image (as configured in the viewers settings) will be started.

Instead of the Open button, you can double click on the entry, or use the Enter key.

Save an object

If you have selected an object from the list, you can use the Save button to save the object to another file. You will see a save requester where you can enter the file name.

Delete an object

If you have selected an object from the list, you can use the Delete button to delete the object from the cache. Note that if the object is currently being displayed, it will not be deleted until it is no longer displayed.
