NAME

       makexvpics - create xv-compatible thumbnails

SYNOPSIS

       makexvpics [ -fhRv ] picture_file_or_dir [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Makexvpics  creates/updates  xv/zgv/Gimp-compatible  thumbnails  for picture files such as
       GIFs, JPEGs, etc. It may be useful if you want a non-interactive way of keeping such files
       up to date.

       The formats currently supported are GIF, JPEG, PNG, PBM/PGM/PPM, mrf, BMP, TGA, and PCX.

OPTIONS

       -f     force  thumbnails  to  be  updated. Ordinarily they're only updated if no thumbnail
              exists or if the picture file is newer.

       -h     give usage help.

       -R     recurse into subdirectories.

       -v     be verbose - echo names (or rather, `basename's) of files which are being updated.

BUGS

       It's pretty slow.
