Hi Malte, Out of curiosity (and just to test if I am correct about this) I started looking around among the jpg files stored in my Ubuntu PC (using the command line utility exiftool)
Found that most jpg images, although they have exif data, do not have a thumbnail image. So, from this webpage: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/fuji-x100t/FULLRES/X100ThSLI00100NR2D.HTM I downloaded this 8 MB image: http://216.18.212.226/PRODS/fuji-x100t/FULLRES/X100ThSLI00100NR2D.JPG This 8 MB JPG image actually have a thumbnail inside the Exif data. In any Hexadecimal file editor (in Ubuntu, I am using Bless) select this range: FROM:0x750 TO:0x29e4 (or) FROM:0x750 TO:+8853 (bytes) Copy the selection, create a new file and paste this range. Save this new file as (for example) X100thumbnail.jpg This proves that Exif data stores the thumbnail as a complete JPG file. I am sure that you could repeat these steps inside Livecode. Have a nice week!
