Reset Image Cache (Not TexturesXX.db) - isamu.dragon - 2012-07-09

I recently moved over to MySQL (Thanks to Jmarshal's Commits to add Artwork to Music and Video DBs) but I think it would be advantageous to those still with the Stock DBs.

This Would Involve 3 Possesses:
  1. Delete the Thumbnails folder, if present.
  2. Redownload All Artwork from sources in DBs (does not include Logos, Clearart, CharacterArt, banner.jpg, or landcape.jpg)
  3. Reset Textures.db to fresh Install quality (An unfilled DB)

This would aid new nodes to those using MySQL, and those restoring from a backup with the Stock DBs.
This would also make it a little faster when loading the images for the first time because they would already be cached.

1 and 3 can be done just by deleting said folder/file.

2. Then happens automatically as you view stuff.

If you blow away your databases, then you can rescan to do 2 as well. I suspect this will be needed in the near future anyway, as I'm planning to get art categorised properly from the scrapers (posters/banners for ex).
