Last year (2008) I totally screwed up and lost (yes, lost) a whole month's

I realized just recently that all of the 1:1 previews from May of 2008
are still in my Lightroom database (despite a setting which says to
remove them after a month!).
Glad that this worked out for you but it demonstrates cleary what I
loathe about Adobe products. Why should this programme _duplicate_ the
full image file? Utter bloatware behaviour.
Not really. Lightroom is aimed at photographers who shoot a lot of RAW
images. The difference in size between a 640x480 preview JPG and a 1:1
preview isn't that great, and both are much smaller than the original.
Pentax do the same thing in a PEF; it includes a full-resolution JPEG
(used, I believe, by both the in-camera review and the Pentax Browser).
Or, at least, they did when I last poked around inside a PEF. I don't
know for certain that this behaviour continues with the later cameras,
or if DNGs also contain this full-size preview, but I'd assume so.
So all Lightroom has to do is extract the jpeg from the raw file as
asked, not build a whole new library.
