[Radiant] Caching + gallery_behavior

Hi,

On 25-Sep-2006 13:30 -0500, J Coppedge was heard to say:

I don't think there is currently a way to individually change the cache
timeout for certain requests, but I don't see it to be very hard to
implement in one of the future versions of either Radiant or the
gallery_plugin.

PNG might have been a bad choice and I should probably provide an option
for JPEG and/or GIF. Also for the larger images JPEG is certainly a better
choice since right now images seem to take forever to load.

I might be able to add those features sometime this week or over the
weekend.

Cheers,
Oliver
