By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Hi!
If I compare XNView (on Windows) to Gwenview on TDE, XNView pre-load the next picture, so when I switch to the next picture, it appear instantly, instead of drawing itself from the top to the buttom of the screen while it is loading. It makes it more enjoyable to use than Gwenview for this reason. Since the computer is idle when you look at a picture, why not use this time to load the next one in RAM?

This sounds like a good idea.

I haven't looked at the source yet, but if Gwenview already caches previously viewed images then instructing the cache loader to load the next image (or maybe even the next <n> images, set via a GUI configuration option) shouldn't be hard at all.
