Chrome/Slimjet cache

[orrin]

Where is the cache directory for Chrome, Slimjet browsers for Slacko 64?

Hi, orrin.

Ah, that's an easy one. Go into your ROX /root window, and click on the 'eye' icon on the 'menu-bar' at the top.

This will show all the 'hidden' files/folders. which are prefaced by a "." Look for ~/.cache, click on it, and inside you'll find a folder for 'google-chrome', plus another for 'slimjet'. These mostly contain your default profile.....and that's about it, usually.

Hope that helps.

Hey Orrin, as a side question, is this the RMS Queen Elizabeth?

Yes!

Wasn't she the one that sank in Hong Kong harbour.....and got used in that Bond film before being dismantled? "The Man with the Golden Gun", I think it was?

When a website caches images an other data... where is that stored?
I do not see it in the ~/.cache directory.

I have

Code: Select all

~> ls -la ~/.cache/iron/Default/
total 0
drwx------ 6 root root    80 Mar 11 08:01 .
drwx------ 6 root root    80 Mar 11 14:53 ..
drwx------ 4 root root 18880 Mar 11 16:24 Cache
drwx------ 4 root root   240 Mar 11 16:23 Media Cache

Iron browser is kind-of similar to Chrome.
I had just done the 'clear browsing data'; but before that, it was 23MB; some svg files,. but mostly files I don't recognize.
Such as

Code: Select all

ls -l ~/.cache/iron/Default/Cache/
total 1340
-rw------- 1 root root    695 Mar 11 16:26 0188f7e45593a7f5_0
-rw------- 1 root root  12156 Mar 11 16:25 02434c4e38109f8f_0
-rw------- 1 root root    682 Mar 11 16:26 02c25aacb8af19ae_0
-rw------- 1 root root   4644 Mar 11 16:28 3a9b9be755a8364d_0

Orrin's right. They're in cogs.... encrypted folders? My Iron files are in the Spot directory but I'm probably an exception there...

[Mike Walsh]

Yep, slavvo's right. In earlier versions, this all used to be easily viewable.....but a few releases back, they started encrypting it all, so it's only accessible by the browser itself now...
