Sep 27 at 0:28 comment added Martin Brandenburg Probably just means that the ind-category has a generator.
Sep 16 at 14:21 comment added Jannik Pitt @R.vanDobbendeBruyn Yes, this is the reason I am interested in this: Generators in the context of a category not admitting arbitrary direct sums.
Sep 16 at 14:12 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Note that the first notion only makes sense if you know that $\mathscr A$ has arbitrary direct sums (at least of the same object), whereas the second notion implies that $\mathscr A$ is small (every object is the cokernel of some map $g^m \to g^n$, and presumably categories are always locally small). So the two criteria live in different worlds, so to speak.
