Name
darktable-generate-cache - update darktable's thumbnail cache
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<darktableoptions>
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.
