I actually have write access to my image directory. Unfortunatelly
every application tries to put thumbnails into it and I was able to
turn off this "feature" for almost all programs. It's hard to makes
backups of the 10GB big image directory, when it permanently changes.

It would be really great to have a possibility to change the
thumbcache directory to ~/.mythtv/mythgallery/ even if there's write
access to it.
