Yeah! I’m wrapping it around my image minifier, the section from the gulp task looks like this:

return gulp.src(paths.images)
    .pipe($.cache($.imagemin({
        progressive: true,
        interlaced: true
    })))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.imageDist));

Removing the $.cache there makes everything work normally.

Thank you @BenjaminRH for the hint. I removed $.cache() and it works now 😃
