makexvpics1

Create xv-compatible thumbnails

Usage

makexvpics [-fhRv] picture_file_or_dir []

Overview

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.

Releases

Unchanged in 12 releases since Debian 3.0 (Woody).

  1. 3.0–13

Bugs
