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 op-
tional 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 be-
longs to) and updating the version information in that file. This re-
sets 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 re-
sources being shipped with GNU gv (ignoring whitespaces).
-n switches to alternative navigation by adding resp. updating nav-
igation 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 naviga-
tion 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 can-
not be used together with any of the other options.
BACKGROUND
The $(HOME)/.gv file is written by GNU gv when activating the Save but-
ton 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.
