makexvpics - create xv-compatible thumbnails

makexvpics [ -fhRv ] picture_file_or_dir [ ... ]

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.

force thumbnails to be updated. Ordinarily they're only updated if no thumbnail exists or if the picture file is newer.
give usage help.
recurse into subdirectories.
be verbose - echo names (or rather, `basename's) of files which are being updated.

It's pretty slow.
