Hi

I decided to solve this a bit differently. I created a new QML type (c++ class) that takes in image url (local or remote) and spits out local url. In case of beginning http:// or https:// class checks if image is already downloaded from the remote server and in that case spits the local url right out w/o wasting the precious mobile data bandwidth.And then there a QML component that fills out the Image type source property when the local url is returned from my so called "Caching class". If anybody's interest I can strip it out of my project and put it up to github with decent comments.

Ok, I'll try to find some spare time to separate it and put it.

Ok, the exmaple project is available in https://github.com/DonRico/QT-Image-Caching . There might be some issues since I've written QT for 2mos for now but it should give you the general idea.

Caching can also be handled with a "QQuickImageProvider":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qquickimageprovider.htmlQQuickImageProvider.

After defining and register a provider, image urls can be written as "image://ProviderName/path/to/image".

The same concept exists for Qt 4 in the form of QDeclarativeImageProvider.
