Extreme caching of image files

Questions
1

Hi there,

A client is using an old version of Umbraco (7.2.8) and they are experiencing a problem with extreme caching of image files in the \App_Data\cache folder.

ImageProcessor seems to be the cause of the problem - and despite various attempts to control its caching, we have not been successful.

We therefore need to be able to either:

  1. somehow limit the files being cached, or

  2. deactivate the image caching all together.

And no - it is not an option to migrate to a newer version of Umbraco right now, so we need a solution within the context of Umbraco 7.2.8.

Therefore - are there any e.g. config file adjustments og ‘umbracoSettings’ changes that can be implemented to accommodate this? Please note, that it must work under 7.2.8, and it seems like the options to control the behavior of ImageProcessor are quite limited in that version.

Any suggestions? Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

Best,
Tom
