Create Cache

To create a cache of all the images in the currently selected directory, click on the Tools Menu and select Create Cache.  The following dialogue box will be displayed.  You may select an alternate folder or create a new folder to cache the images.  It is not necessary to create the cache files in the same directory as your images.  You may click on the New Folder button to create a new directory.

This dialogue box provides other options as well:

Collect images recursively

Checking this box instructs the program to cache all image in the current directory as well as any subdirectories of the current folder.

Copy images

By placing a check mark in this box, the program will create copies of each image and place them in a directory of the same name.  In order to use this option, the directory that will contain the copied images must not share the same parent directory as the original images.  For example, if you have images contained under \IMAGES\MYSTUFF, you cannot use the \IMAGES directory to create the copies, since the newly created directory would posses the same folder and image names.

with packing

To use this option, the Copy images option must be enabled.  This option will create copies of each image and place them in a compressed folder.  The compressed folder will contain a cache file and a .ZIP file containing the images.  This method can reduce the size of the cache folder and the copied images to a minimum.
