Hi -- I notice that my /g2data/cache/ directory is quite large (in diskspace usage) -- about 30% larger than my /g2data/albums/ directory. Is this normal? I'm using Gallery 2.1.1. Thanks.

How exactly is this cache directory used? Thanks much.

among other things that speeds up access, it stored resized versions of the original images stored in ~/g2data/albums/*

If I don't do any resizing, or I delete original images after resizing, would that directory be much smaller than it is? (I'm trying to save disk space, which I thought I was doing by resizing.)
