Configuration

hircine looks for an optional configuration file named hircine.ini in its regular directory structure. Refer to Python’s configparser module for details on its format.

Sections

import.scale

This section is split into two subsections, full and thumb. The former controls scaling for images displayed in the reader and the latter controls scaling for thumbnails. See Image processing.

The width and height settings in each subsection control the maximum pixel dimensions for the processed image. They are given as integers and must be greater than zero. The defaults are as follows:

[import.scale.full]
width = 4200
height = 2000

[import.scale.thumb]
width = 1680
height = 800

Important

Changes to these settings will only apply to newly processed image files. If you want to reprocess your entire collection, run:

$ hircine import -r
