I agree that the documentation should say something about this - I had no idea that was how this worked and spent a while looking for something that would flush the cache etc. etc. before posting here and getting the very helpful response from Ben.

I've added a note to the dictionary about removing an image from the cache. It is submitted "pending approval". Anyone at RunRev monitoring this nowadays?
