Hi Heiner, Just to chime in here: whether the thumbnail is made from the RAW file directly or from an embedded or paired JPEG depends on which RAW developer is currently selected in Shotwell's preferences. If the default developer is set to "Shotwell," then Shotwell will develop the thumbnail and preview images itself, directly from the RAW file. If the default developer is set to "Camera," Shotwell will use either a paired or embedded JPEG (presumably produced by the camera at the time of exposure) to generate the thumbnail and preview images, provided one is available.
