           Summary: thumbnails needs a lot of space compared to the pictures
                    itself
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.4-rc1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: toralf.foerster gmx de


Version:           0.9.4-rc1 (using 3.5.9, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7

With a resolution of 3 mega pixel each of my JPEG photos needs 1.5 MB disck space. The thumbnails are stored in PNG format resulting in ~100 KB for each large thumbnail. IMHO what's about changing the format of the thumbnails to reduce the disk space they need compared to the original image format ?
