ezpublish processing images on *every* page load

I thought the point of the image cache was to avoid processing the images. It's causing problems with our hosts.

We've got images that change very little (a webshop), so once an item is resized (upon adding), it does not need to be reprocessed. It's quite draining on the server and causing us a headache each time the site is taken offline due to a runaway imagemagick process.

What settings do I need to use to tell ezpublish to point to the already converted objects; I don't want them converted each time; only at publishing.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi,

That's what it's supposed to do by default.

Are you sure your image cache is writable ? what about the modification date ? are you sure you don't have a backup process or something that updates the modification time of the images ?

(no idea why it does that)

Hi

If you're using eZ Publish 4.0.0, this might be caused by http://issues.ez.no/12386. This issue is fixed and eZ Publish 4.0.1 (release date unknown) will include this fix.

Sorry for the lack of details. I wrote that initial post a bit hastily.

I'm using eZpublish 3.8.10 (I know it's not supported). The cache is writable (CHMOD 0755). I don't have the cron job running (probably should but can't get that working without knocking over the site, I think).

The images are certainly created, with proper dates on them. All the image aliases are being generated, but it seems ezpublish is ignoring them.

The settings for the cache (that I can find; I could be missing things) are as follows. Note, the override and siteaccess settings are further down the page:
/settings/site.ini

[RoleSettings]
EnableCaching=false

[RegionalSettings]
TextTranslation=enabled
TranslationCache=enabled

[FileSettings]
CacheDir=cache

[TemplateSettings]
NodeTreeCaching=disabled
TemplateCache=disabled

[ContentSettings]
CacheThreshold=60
PreviewCacheUsers[]
PreviewCacheUsers[]=anonymous

[OverrideSettings]
Cache=enabled

/settings/override/site.ini.append.php

TemplateCompression=disabled

<b>Note, this is where I think the problem may lie. However, the aliases have been created by the admin using the same code below...</b>
