For example, Barnacle-Bill-high-res.jpg.jpg is a picture taken several years ago of a named rock on Mars. I might want to get rid of its thumbnail. When the thumbnails are dscf0002.jpg.jpg dscf0003.jpg.jpg dscf0004.jpg.jpg then I delete them all. I do not want to spend the minutes it takes to recreate thumbnails for the images in the directory for which I mainly need thumbnails. It takes too long. -- Robert J.
