How to identify the cache name of a URL used in AsyncImage?

[h0lg]

Background: I want to use the AsyncImage in an app that currently offers custom cache management by content. That includes matching the file names found in the image cache folder with their original http/s URLs referenced in the content. That way the app identifies caches as either belonging to a piece of known content or being loose and obsolete.

Looking into the source I found CachBase<T>.GetCacheFileName(Uri uri) which would be exactly what I need to translate a URL into a cache file name - but it's private in an internal generic class.

Would you consider making this API public?

Making both CachBase<T> and GetCacheFileName(Uri uri) in it public should be enough.

If you additionally moved GetCacheFileName(Uri uri) into a public helper type (since it is static) or a new non-generic super-class of CachBase<T>, that would make it easier to call, i.e. CacheHelper.GetCacheFileName(Uri uri) or CachBase.GetCacheFileName(Uri uri) instead of e.g. CachBase<Bitmap>.GetCacheFileName(Uri uri).

Thank you for your consideration <3
