.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
sxiv is a simple image viewer for X. It only has the most basic features
|
|
|
|
|
required for fast image viewing.

|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
sxiv opens all named
|
|
|
|
|
.IR FILE s,
|
|

|
sxiv has two modes of operation: image and thumbnail mode. The default is image
|
|
|
|
|
mode, in which only the current image is shown. In thumbnail mode a grid of
|
|
|
|
|
small previews is displayed, making it easy to choose an image to open.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
sxiv can also cache its thumbnails. Please see the section THUMBNAIL CACHING
|

|
|
for information on how to enable this feature.

|
manager.

.SH THUMBNAIL CACHING
|
|
|
|
|
To enable thumbnail caching, please make sure to create the directory
|
|
|
|
|
.I ~/.sxiv/
|
|
|
|
|
with write permissions. sxiv will then store all thumbnails inside this
|
|
|
|
|
directory, but it will not create this directory by itself. It rather uses the
|
|
|
|
|
existance of this directory as an affirmation, that the user wants thumbnails
|
|
|
|
|
to be cached.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
Use the command line option
|
|
|
|
|
.I \-c
|
|
|
|
|
to keep the cache directory clean by removing all orphaned cache files.
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, run the following command afterwards inside the cache directory
|
|
|
|
|
to remove empty subdirectories:
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
|
find -type d -empty -delete
