Describe the bug

wezterm caching images too often when scrolling through image's previews in yazi .
Yazi has a cache directory in C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Temp\yazi but when i scroll through images, it also get cached into C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\wezterm\wezterm-blob-lease-itAw1SkV , the problem is ... it caches everytime i go to an image, even images it has cached before. And it also creates another file

2024-11-22.02-17-55-first.mp4

that has 3.6 MB as it does so, So the folder's size grows really fast .At one point reaching 15 GB, before i delete it.

Minimal reproducer

-install latest wezterm nightly-version (wezterm 20241119-101432-4050072d) through the setup.exe in here
-scroll through images and check C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\wezterm\wezterm-blob-lease-*

Anything else?

Validations

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)

[sxyazi]

Yazi doesn't instruct WezTerm to create these caches in any way, nor is there any way to tell WezTerm not to cache them, so it's pretty clear that this is an issue on WezTerm's end, and I don't think there's anything that can be fixed on Yazi's side.

Closing as not Yazi and not doable

can you replicate this on your end?
i did try to download wezterm in wsl,open wezterm through wsl then go to the images, and it still creates those cache files (in /home/pamhan/.cache/wezterm/wezterm-blob-lease-cft0g2F1/)
so i think not only windows but linux also has this issue, i think you're using linux , does wezterm creates those caches on your machine?
