| 309 | .SH THUMBNAIL CACHING |
| 310 | To enable thumbnail caching, please make sure to create the directory |
| 311 | .I ~/.sxiv/ |
| 312 | with write permissions. sxiv will then store all thumbnails inside this |
| 313 | directory, but it will not create this directory by itself. It rather uses the |
| 314 | existance of this directory as an affirmation, that the user wants thumbnails |
| 315 | to be cached. |
| 316 | .P |
| 317 | Use the command line option |
| 318 | .I \-c |
| 319 | to keep the cache directory clean by removing all orphaned cache files. |
| 320 | Additionally, run the following command afterwards inside the cache directory |
| 321 | to remove empty subdirectories: |
| 322 | .P |
| 323 | .RS |
| 324 | find \-type d \-empty \-delete |
| 325 | .RE |
| 326 | .P |
| 327 | If the version of |
| 328 | .I find |
| 329 | installed on your local system does not support the \-delete option, then you |
| 330 | can also try the following command: |
| 331 | .P |
| 332 | .RS |
| 333 | find . \-depth \-type d \-empty ! \-name '.' \-exec rmdir {} \\; |
