How about the change below which creates thumbnails in the > same format as the image when its xpm xbm or pbm, and uses jpeg otherwise? Could you change it to generate thumbnail images according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard?

Let's unify them all before the release. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
