Cached icons for webpages chaches also full images of image urls

Opera has the ability, as other browsers, to cache icons of websites. This is ok. It has the following options:
http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/#multimedia
* 0 = Never
* 1 = Always
* 2 = Embedded only

They are tweakable throught options and the changes are made correctly on operaprefs.ini.

But there is a problem. Even if you choose to cache icons always (even if the page hasn't anyone embedded) or embedded only, opera caches a full image as an icon when you visit an image, using this image as an icon. Why does it uses the full image as an icon? There is no icon embedded and then it uses the full image. Not a very smart move.

An example.

Let's think we visit the site Image of the Day at nasa.gov. This url: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=52174
And we want to see the large image, a link that routes us to an image of (4MB) http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/52000/52174/aaland_tm5_2011155_lrg.jpg

Cool, isn't it?

Well, if now we go to the windows folder "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\icons" (path may be different in your configuration) we will find that opera has cached an image of 4MB as an icon. Indeed, the tab that is showing the image, has it as icon. If we close Opera, the image of 4MB, is still there, cached.

I find this a very big bug. More for people like me that likes to browse through a bunch of image sites and that all images are huge. At the end of the day you have wasted disk space for a non-sense "icons" being cached. If you left them, the thing goes worst, of course.

I noticed this problem with Opera 11.11, but probably happens with others.

Any workaround? This hasn't been fixed in latest versions.

Nevermind.

It's fixed in the latest version :-?

Probably I did something wrong when I tested.
