Different Default Caches

[lappp9]

It seems that setting the cache limit via [[PINDiskCache sharedCache] setByteLimit:_] doesn't affect the disk cache in [[PINRemoteImageManager sharedImageManager] defaultImageCache] but it seems like that should be the case right?

Wow. I've been using PINRemoteImage in a project for over a year (still in beta) and have been absolutely baffled by the ever-increasing storage usage even when I am judiciously calling trim on the sharedCache. byteCount on the sharedCache always comes back as 0 and I never could figure out why, since it's storing over a gigabyte of items on my phone. This issue by @lappp9 finally explained it to me, there's a special cache for remote images that is the one taking up all the space.

So +1 on this. I wonder how many people are just using PINRemoteImage, not realizing that they can't trim the disk cache down because it's being stored using a different mechanism than they'd expect?
