Hi,
In most raw files the thumbnail exists as an embedded jpeg. I know how to read
it to memory, but need advice on how to load it into gimp (i.e. create a valid
image ID for it).
Option a) Perhaps such functionality already exists - but I did not find it?
Option b) Go through the file system -

(b) is the probably the simplest, but I am not happy about going to the

The most natural place is to add an optional argument to the run()

The plug-in interface must remain API and ABI compatible to GIMP 2.0
so changing any of the existing functions is not an

Great. So what I suggest - i.e. a forth argument to run() to indicate
a request for a thumbnail should work and not break other plugins?
I think you need to make yourself familiar with the GIMP API. Did
