good idea..... start working on it... you have a genius level idea there

P.S. my further ideas on this is that the thumbnails can be packaged separately in a simple single file database, like with Storable for example..... that way you only need to create the thumbs once, and you can include them as part of a resource file with the app.

As far as including the thumbnails in the exif info, maybe there is enough room in there, but it almost seems like you may as well develope your own file format..... like jpegs that allow information riders to be concated onto the end of the image, before the EOF..... maybe separated by a few chr 01's,.... maybe you could include a sound bite too... :-)
