SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

12       darktable is a digital photography workflow application for Linux, Mac
13       OS X and several other Unices.  It's described further in darktable(1).
14
15       darktable-generate-cache updates darktable's thumbnail cache.  You can
16       start this program to generate all missing thumbnails in the background
17       when your computer is idle.
18

OPTIONS

20       All parameters are optional.  If started without parameters darktable-
21       generate-cache uses reasonable defaults.
22
23       -h, --help
24           Gives usage information and terminates.
25
26       --version
27           Gives copyright and version information and terminates.
28
29       --min-mip <0-7>
30       -m, --max-mip <0-7>
31           darktable can handle and store thumbnails with up to eight
32           different resolution steps for each image.  These parameters define
33           which maximum resolution should be generated and default to a range
34           of 0-2.  There is normally no need to generate all possible
35           resolutions here; missing ones will be automatically generated by
36           darktable the moment they are needed.  When asked to generate
37           multiple resolutions at once, the lower-resolution images are
38           quickly downsampled from the highest-resolution image.
39
40       --min-imgid <N>
41       --max-imgid <N>
42           Specifies the range of internal image IDs from the database to work
43           on.  If no range is given, darktable-generate-cache will process
44           all images from the entire collection.
45
46       --core <darktable options>
47           All command line parameters following --core are passed to the
48           darktable core and handled as standard parameters.  See
49           darktable(1) for a detailed description of the options.
