Yep, definitely off-topic :p Those applications you mentioned probably aren't generating thumbnails. They're just using the existing thumbnail that's embedded in the file. Most cameras embed a thumbnail in the JPG file, some do not. Your friend's camera probably just doesn't have those thumbnails embedded. To keep this on-topic: Gimp and most other image editors have an option to include a thumbnail when saving a JPG file. I typically disable this option for web graphics to make the file size smaller. -- Frank Gore THE place to talk photography! www.friendlyphotozone.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
