Re: GMC and thumbnail images
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.

Vik :v) From a little playing around with it, I cannot find any remnants of the thumbnails it generates. It would appear that they are generated on the fly, and not cached on disk at all. Then again, since my 'playing around' was rather short, I may have missed something. Mark
Re: GMC and thumbnail images
Vik Does anyone know if it is possible to get gmc to display thumbnail images? I am not sure if I am on the same wave lenght as you here... an image viewer I use and like is gqview. Walter -- Walter Logeman Psychotherapist http://www.psybernet.co.nz

So I end up doing the browsing of the cmera's files in gqview, and then using gmc to drag the renamed images that I want to move into the right directories. It'd be nice if I could use the same tool interactively for both jobs, in the same way that the explorer does in that otherwise awful Microsoft stuff.

Re: GMC and thumbnail images
Another option is Nautilus if you use Gnome. It supports thumbnails and drag n' drop. Kerry.

However I don't seem to be able to make it drag 'n' drop, which is something that I need to do to efficiently transfer files off my camera.
