It's acutally a bad idea to do that. When you are opening a JPEG file and saving it again as JPEG, you are recompressing it and this recompression means a loss of quality. This can be avoided by using a tool that manipulates the JPEG file without recompressing the image data. Such tools are available and they can even rotate the image for you without decompressing the image data. See for example exiv2 (http://www.exiv2.org/). The manual page says that it can insert thumbnails.
