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.

       --min-mip <0-7>
       -m, --max-mip <0-7>
           darktable can handle and store thumbnails with up to eight different resolution steps for each image.
           These  parameters  define which maximum resolution should be generated and default to a range of 0-2.
           There is normally  no  need  to  generate  all  possible  resolutions  here;  missing  ones  will  be
           automatically  generated  by  darktable  the moment they are needed.  When asked to generate multiple
           resolutions at once, the lower-resolution images are quickly downsampled from the  highest-resolution
           image.

       --min-imgid <N>
       --max-imgid <N>
           Specifies  the  range  of  internal  image  IDs  from the database to work on.  If no range is given,
           darktable-generate-cache will process all images from the entire collection.

       --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.
