NAME¶
gv-update-userconfig - update ~/.gv config file
SYNOPSIS¶
gv-update-userconfig [
filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
gv-update-userconfig is a simple script to update an
.gv config
file to the current version of
gv(1).
You can specify a file which is used instead of
.gv by using the optional
filename argument. This is useful if the environment variable XUSERSEARCHPATH
is used.
This is done by removing all entries known to cause problems with the current
version of GNU gv (i.e. the one the version of this program belongs to) and
updating the version information in that file. This resets all problematic
items back to the default values.
- -h, --help, --usage
- displays a short help message
- -r
- removes all resources from ~/.gv that equal the default
resources being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).
- -n
- switches to alternative navigation by adding resp. updating navigation
resources to ~/.gv, i. e. after each page switch (except if
selected by the page number) the page is scrolled to top (if switching
forward) resp. to the bottom (if switching backward).
- -N
- switches to standard navigation by adding resp. updating navigation
resources to ~/.gv.
- -s
- removes navigation resources from ~/.gv and therefore
enables standard navigation.
- -i
- updates translation file. Using the optional filename parameter is
strongly recommended for using this option. This option cannot be used
together with any of the other options.
BACKGROUND¶
The
$(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the
Save button in one of the configuration dialogs.
The values in there are used, if there is no display-specific resource value
(loaded from
$(HOME)/.Xresources at login time or manually
xrdb(1)).
Sometimes older values miss things needed by the new GNU gv to work properly.
This GNU gv will notice old (or missing) version information in this file and
refuse to start until fixed.
