DARKTABLE-GENERATE-CACHE(1)

NAME
darktable-generate-cache - update darktable's thumbnail cache

SYNOPSIS
    darktable-generate-cache [-h, --help; --version] [-m, --max-mip <0-7>] [--core <darktable options>]

DESCRIPTION
darktable is a digital photography workflow application for Linux, Mac OS X and several other Unices. It's described further in darktable(1).

darktable-generate-cache updates darktable's thumbnail cache. You can start this program to generate all missing thumbnails in the background when your computer is idle.

OPTIONS
All parameters are optional. If started without parameters darktable-generate-cache uses reasonable defaults.

-h, --help
    Gives usage information and terminates.

--version
    Gives copyright and version information and terminates.

-m, --max-mip <0-7>
    darktable can handle and store thumbnails with up to eight different resolution steps for each image. This parameter defines which maximum resolution should be generated and defaults to 2. There is normally no need to generate all possible resolutions here; missing ones will be automatically generated by darktable the moment they are needed.

--core <darktable options>
    All command line parameters following --core are passed to the darktable core and handled as standard parameters. See darktable(1) for a detailed description of the options.
