142970 - Clear Cache should be disabled after clearing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 66012

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Bamm Gabriana]

The Clear Cache and Clear Memory Cache buttons in the prefs dialog should
be disabled when the cache is empty. In particular, they should be disabled
immediately after clearing and enabled only when new files have been added
to the cache folder.

The current behavior is confusing as it gives users the impression that
nothing has happened, and an urge to clear it again seeing that it is still
clickable.

Disabling it is a good visual confirmation that the action they requested
has actually been completed.

Maybe this is a dup of bug 66012, or it depends on that one.

I think it's the other way around.

Andrew: The other bug wants a confirmation, possibly a dialog.
However, /even if/ a confirmation dialog is given (which will
fix the other bug), the Clear Cache button still needs to be
disabled - there is no point in it being enabled if there is
nothing to clear.

it's the same bug. the fact that one suggestion in it is for some prompt 
doesn't override the fact that the bug's main request is precisely what you are 
requesting.
