General Tab: Only Cache checkbox, what is it's function?

[aa956]

General Tab: Only Cache checkbox function is not documented in
Wiki / General.

I was unable to find "only cache" mentioned either in issues or discussions here.

Does it mean that clicking "Start" no training would be done but images (and/or captions) will be cached?

Or only cached images will be used during training even if the original dataset is already deleted or disconnected?

Or something else?

Now tried this and looks like clicking "Start Training" with "Only Cache" set to on no training was done and only images and text were cached:

UI shows "stopped" after caching.

As the setting describes 😉. This is intended and correct.
