There's some confusion here, which I need to make less confusing. The  
DSS cache location specified in Preferences->General should point to  
the folder containing the DSS Image Cache folder, not that folder  
itself (otherwise it just makes another DSS Image Cache folder inside  
the first.

I will change this definition, or at least adjust the path to  
compensate.
