Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-1283:
-------------------------------------

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to extract thumbnail images as regular 
embedded resource. A thumbnail is not similarly a "part of" the document like 
an embedded image or an attached file. Instead a thumbnail is used to 
"describe" or "visualize" a document, and thus would IMHO be better expressed 
as a part of document metadata as suggested in TIKA-90.

> Add "thumbnail" as possible metadata item to TikaCoreProperties

> TIKA-90 originally requested to add thumbnails to a document's metadata.
> I'd like to have a unified way of determining whether an embedded 
> document/resource is a thumbnail or a regular attachment.
> With the changes in TIKA-1223 (ooxml) and TIKA-1010 (rtf), we are now pulling 
> out more thumbnails than before.
> I propose adding "tika:thumbnail" to the metadata of each thumbnail image.  
> The consumer can then determine what to do with the embedded resource based 
> on the metadata.
