Hi, Kovid.

Would it be possible to disable caching of books not in calibre library? Or maybe add this as option to the viewer.

Why am I asking this? Because I do a LOT of book downloads. They are all opened and checked for quality, before being added to the library or discarded. The problem is that every single book I open is then added to the cache. So, since calibre beta, this cache keeps growing (around 3 GB now).

I know this might not be the user case for many users, but still, if was possible, this would be awesome. The alternative would be to clear the cache regularly, which would ruin my overall experience inside my library.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: maybe I am wrong in the assumption this started with 4.0. If that's the case, then forget it. It wouldn't be an issue, since I have calibre for years and the cache would not be growing so fast after all.
