Photo
My Memories Suite uses caching technology, which stores small versions of your photos in a local folder, to speed up the displaying of thumbnails.
To change where the cache is located, click the Browse button, select a folder, then click Select.
To clear the contents of the cache folder, click the Clear button. This will free up space on the hard drive, but thumbnails will take longer to load.
To disable the cache, clear the check next to Use Cache. Note: disabling caching will slow down the display of thumbnails.
Crop After Fill - This option automatically opens the crop dialog box when a photo box is filled with a photo. If you would like to disable this option, uncheck the box.
