Oh, yeah, that's right. I just didn't notice it... Thanks for correcting me! Actually it wouldn't have mattered (I think) because the list contains x.jpg and x_thumb.jpg which have been collected by os.listdir(). At least I suppose that it would be like [x.jpg, x_thumb.jpg, y.jpg, y_thumb.jpg] or am I completely wrong? But thanks for good suggestions, I replaced my code with the list comprehension method and it works now. Thanks!
