Option to disable storing pages in temp folder
I couldn't find any information in the docs to disable it. Setting temp folder size to 0 doesn't work. I don't have it on SSD so it just creates a copy on my hard drive for no reason at all.
Most manga/comic readers (komga, kavita, yacreader) just read/unzip single pages of a cbz in memory through random access. It is much faster than unpacking it, writing it and then reading.
Could this be implemented please? It just creates a lot of extra hardware strain and the gains are negligible for a single user. Even with SSD it wouldn't be worth it. Hard drives take a fraction of a second to read a few MB for a page if you have them on a NAS spinning the entire time.
tbh I'm confused why caching is standard. It would only make sense if there are multiple users or you are on desktop and the drive platter are spinning down when not used. But aren't most using this on a NAS?
Sure it would use a bit of memory to unzip pages in memory but isn't this a case where it should be used?
