Setting the Viewer Cache

You can now reduce the viewer cache. Preferences, 'Advanced tab, move the slider to the desired amount. We do not recommend you set this smaller than 1GB. While here, press the clear cache button.

Enabling HTTP Textures

Catznip ships with HTTP textures disabled by default due to some long standing issues with some domestic routers.

Enable the 'Developer menu' by pressing CTRL+ALT+Q or via preferences.

From the top menu check Develop > HTTP Texures.
