Hi,

I would like to now if it's possible with XnView MP under Linux to re-create the thumbnail stored in the exif data of a JPG file ?
As you can see in the screenshot below, XNView is showing the thumbnail stored in the exif data but it's not what the picture looks like.

I tried using the menu "View/REbuild thumbnail" but it does not do the trick.

thanks

Refresh thumbnails saved in XnViewMP's cache:

View » Rebuild thumbnails

Recreate thumbnails embedded in JPEG images:

Tools » Metadata » EXIF thumbnail - Rebuild

BTW, the rebuild operates on only those jpgs that have been selected, I find.

Tagging/ticking them doesn't lead to rebuilding thumbnails - the 'EXIF thumbnail - Rebuild' under Tools, Metadata remains greyed-out.

Note also that 'EXIF thumbnail - Rebuild' will be greyed-out when any non-jpg files are selected. Make sure you select only those files with EXIF data in them, most likely, jpgs.

NB All of this takes place in Browser mode.
