Hi,

I've got a few hints... Since there is no error message, I kept thinking... I
have thousands of pictures and digikam worked perfectly wit them before,
besides, even though the ligjpeg is pretty old, an old lib should be able to
handle old picture... No ? I wanted to prove that jpeg picture could still be
handled by digikam, but I used a small trick ! I ran the following commands :

convert NIK_0037.JPG NIK_0037.jpeg
convert NIK_0037.JPG NIK_0037.jpg

And... digikam is able to display the thumbnails of NIK_0037.jpeg and
NIK_0037.jpg !

It's not simply a matter of suffixes or lower case letters ! It's clearly
related to the format of the file. All my Initial files are in format :

JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.21

While, after using the conert command, they are in the following format :

JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01

This seems to imply that the current digikam/*lib* is unable to handle 'EXIF
2.21' inside a JPG file... The installed library on my system is :

libexif12

What do you think about this ?

Daniel
