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.
