Multimedia

Cache mirror images

When ticked, images will be copied from a server to the local drive for faster retrieval.

Note: Use this option only if your local PC is faster than downloading from the server.

Use Image as Thumbnail

When ticked, images are displayed by default as thumbnails. When no thumbnail can be found, EMu automatically resizes the full image so it can fit in the thumbnail window.

If this option is not selected and no thumbnail is found, a broken image icon is used.

Cache

Disk Cache

Sets the amount of space on the local hard drive to store cached multimedia resources from the server. When the nominated space is exceeded, the least recently used multimedia items are discarded.

Check Frequency

Sets the frequency with which EMu checks the multimedia cache on the local hard drive.

For example, if it is set at 10 downloads, the retrieval and storage of every tenth multimedia item will invoke a check to see if the nominated space has been exceeded. If so, enough of the least recently used items will be discarded to make the total space approximately 90% of the nominated space.

Clear Cache

Clears the multimedia cache.
