[Digikam-users] documentation of thumbnail creation function - some suggestions

[Tom Cloyd]

I've been exploring this function, and really like -

1. the "scan for missing thumbnails" function;
2. the fact that created thumbnails are embedded, so that when an image 
is renamed the thumbnail is not lost.

Now, if I may suggest -

1. This scan, on the modal window in which the choice to select it is 
offered (gotten to by menu item Tools > Rebuild all thumbnails) describe 
it as "scan for /and create/ missing thumbnails". It does not say, at 
present, that they will created, so selecting that option, for 
newcomers, is a bit of a shot in the dark.
2. In the online manual in which this function is minimally documented, 
mention really should be made of this scan option and how it behaves 
(that it also creates a thumbnail with one is missing), AND of the fact 
that created thumbnails are EMBEDDED in the main image.

Just a thought, for what it's worth. I'm totally delighted to be able so 
easily to create missing thumbnails.
