:Will this prevent viewed images from being cached?  

No, of course not. Also, web site copying programs like WebSpider won't have
any problem with.


:If not, it's a minor 
:inconvenience to just retrieve a cached image and move or copy 
:it to another directory.

This 'copy prevention' only works for newbies who are greener than grass on
the Internet. If you really don't want people to copy your work, don't put
them on the Internet, or at least only publish them in sizes that are so
small they're completely useless for print. Just viewing the pictures
already copies them to you local machine (into the cache). Viewing =
copying. Digital watermarks and copyright messages may seem to give better
protection but they can  be removed or retouched.
