Hope this helps---- Most digital cameras save images in exif format which is an extension of jpg. This format includes a thumbnail img plus all the camera settings used in taking the pic (flash, lens setting, camera make/model and heaps more). This detail is visible in a suitable app, I use Exifread under win95. It is fast, shows the embedded thumnails automatically and can also show full size for exif and 'normal' jpg files. It is a viewer only. Having located my file I then use other apps to transfer/manipulate the image. Beware though that other image apps will probably delete all the exif specific data and save a jpg file without thumbnail.
You can check for an exif file by viewing it in a hex editor. The file type shows in the 1st 16 bytes - EXIF or JFIF There is an app for linux which I have yet to try - exifutils-lin-x86-1.5.tgz. I understand that it can modify existing data and add your own comments to exif & jpg files but i don't think it handles the graphics. Source code is available from the author. If anyone knows of others please lets know of them Konqueror creates its own thumbnails - slow to load and does not save them.
