Caching images

[j0k3r]

With or without that feature enable on the wallabag server, the app should be able to cache feature for each article.

Like Reeder does:

• sync all articles
• parse all articles and extract images
• save that images locally
• display a progress bar with the number of images to cache (1/23, 2/23, etc..)
• replace that image link with the local image (on the fly when viewing the articles or permanently)

We need to keep in mind that user can remove the cache so we need to be able to redownload all images.

I would really appreciate this functionality. It is sad that I cannot read my articles on a plane.

I would suggest a setting that allows to set a limit on how many of the newest articles will be cached.

The Wallabag app is being rewritten. Your issue is most likely fixed in the build 242 of Wallabag 5.0.0 Beta. In beta, it seems that in airplanes mode, the images are still there on my side, even after killing the app.

@bourvill can you confirm images are cached with the release to come?

If you want to join the beta, you can follow the Testflight link. Keep in mind the beta still is unstable, and any update can completely break the app (and potentially do some nasty things on your Wallabag instance).

Images are not cached at this time. There are two topics on caching.

• List image
• The images of the articles

The images in the list will be fairly simple to set up I think. On the other hand, the images of the articles require replacing the images on the fly. A lot of work will have to be done on this last point.

Sorry,I plan to use Wallabag as a replacement for Instapaper

Is there any plan to add this feature now?

Very thankful.
