How does Secondary Caching work?
Secondary Caching was implemented in response to a request from a happy user to provide the ability for multiple instances of GLoSS to partially share cache folders. You can now specify a secondary cache folder for GLoSS to check for local versions of Gallery images before GLoSS downloads the image from your Gallery. This is expected to be useful in small home networks, especially with laptops, etc. It works as follows: • When attempting to download an image from your Gallery, GLoSS checks to see whether or not the image already exists in your secondary cache folder. If it does exist there, but doesn’t already exist in your primary cache folder, the file is copied to your primary cache folder. • If this copy is successful, or the image already existed in your primary cache folder, GLoSS uses that image. • If the image doesn’t already exist in your caches, GLoSS downloads it from your Gallery and stores it in your primary cache folder.An example of how to configure Secondary Caching: if
