Convert, browse and clear cached images and files. Images you see online are never deleted immediately, unless you delete them of course. Most desktop apps have a cache directory, not all provide the tools to clear it. CacheMonkey not only lets you purge cache files, but browse and filter through them too.

What linux distro are you using (likely ubuntu 18.04)? Have you tried compiling from source code?

Zomatree commented 5 years ago

hey you can run the source and i got it working (linux mint, but still should work)

Zomatree commented 5 years ago

also you can run linux.js but you have to change the user name to your username

From my experiences I've had to make something that removes some garbage data from the cache files (it's been merged in as the file linux.js) in order for the cache files to be read. I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 so I don't know if it's an os specific thing or if other Linux distros experience this as wellOn Mar 6, 2019 12:17, zomatree notifications@github.com wrote:hey you can run the source and i got it working (linux mint, but still should work)

Should probably not use a direct path, I realize this was for testing, just mentioning it so you can fix it

linux.js has just come out of testing, but linux.js should be getting put into cachemonkey itself soon

AlekEagle commented 5 years ago

I just want to let you guys know that that old linux.js file is only capable of getting profile pictures and emojis, a new one should be getting merged soon that allows you to also get attachments and embeded images.

I made a new pull request making it so cache monkey itself has linux support instead of that linux.js file only.
