# Used to store temporary images on disk.
# This is useful for undo/redo as image edition can quickly fill up memory.

# Image data is stored in archive files together,
# because when dealing with many images it speeds up filesystem I/O on Windows.
# If the file exceeds a predefined size, a new one is created.
# Writing to disk is performed from a thread, to leave the main thread responsive.
# However if you want to obtain an image back while it didn't save yet, the main thread will block.
# When the application or plugin is closed, the files get cleared.
