My "~/Library/Application Support/Delicious Library/Images/Medium Covers" has 410 files, "Plain Covers" 3680! It isn't much of a hit in megabytes, but the number does slow down backups. (Because I still use Retroshi..pect)

I suppose those are for similar items, which I never use. Any way do disable it/delete the images?

I often say, if Delicious Library came with a manual, the first page would say "Do not look in the images folder. It will only give you a headache."

Of course, that would immediately send everyone to the images folder and sales of aspirin would skyrocket.

The plain and small images folder contain covers for all the "similar" items and are necessary to the functioning of Delicious Library.

In upcoming versions, better graphics routines will lead to elimination of the current system of image folders, but in the meantime, I would avoid messing with the images or bad stuff might happen.

I would never have looked if backup time hadn't skyrocketed because of something totally unnecessary to my use of Delicious Library. Faster scaling will not make the similar item images go away. Please add a request to optionally disable that feature.
