Hey there - I quite frequently need to view images over SMB, making Ghost Commander a great fit, however there's one issue... It seems that the images are downloaded to my phone as I view them and never removed. This means that after a month or two I need to clear Ghost Commander's data outright, as the app is now taking up several gigabytes.

Unless I've somehow missed an existing option, I'd like to request a cache limit where the oldest cached images are removed to keep under a certain total size, or some similar arrangement.

Thanks!

Cached files should be deleted on an app's explicit exit. However, that's not always happens. I've added file deletion on each picture viewer exit. Please give a try. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostcommander/files/Betas/Ghost%20Commander%201.64.1b6.apk/download

  Perfect, thank you! Before updating the app was using 2.6GB, updated, viewed an image, now it's using ~12MB. Much better! =)
