There is a menu item: EXIF - thumbnail - Rebuild.
I would like to view the EXIF thumbnail embedded in the JPG file.
Where is the EXIF thumbnail displayed?

Re: EXIF - thumbnail
Exif does not work as expected
I have several thousand scanned images of documents. When displaying them, a gallery of all images in a folder is always created. I hope that the mini images will speed up page loading.
Until now, I haven't concerned myself with the issue of EXIF thumbnails.
Now I have an idea of how to recognise their presence.
The EXIF tab in XnView displays the following:
‘Clean metadata’ does what you would expect. OK.
However, ‘EXIF thumbnail - Rebuild’ does not generate a new thumbnail.
Do I have an incorrect expectation or an incorrect parameter?
