.SH NAME
mms-pic-library \- Generates picture thumbnails and database \fIpictures.db\fP

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBmms-pic-library\fP [ \-\-help|\-h ] [ \-c  \fIpath\fP] [ \-p  \fIpath\fP]
[ \-d  \fIpath\fP ] [ \-d  \fIpath\fP ] ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmms-pic-library\fP scans the \fIdirs\fP given in \fICONFIGDIR/PictureConfig\fP
for pictures, fills the database and prepares the corresponding thumbnails in
MMS's tmp-dir which is defined in \fICONFIGDIR/Config\fP.

This speeds up navigation in pictures as MMS does not need to generate the
thumbs at runtime.
