NWZ-S618F JPG Thumbnail Problem

[jabtas]

Hi people. new member here, just got myself a Sony NWZ-S618f in black, to replaced my aging Rio Carbon.
Which has sadly now gone to the big MP3 dump in the sky

So far very pleased with the Sony, but I transferred some photos scross and for some reason only about 1/4 of the pictures have a thunbnail in the search screen

Anybody got any ideas why

A lot of Jpg files have embedded thumbnails. Maybe the player uses these as a display? Get xnview (free image viewer), open the image, an click 'save as'. In the options click "rebuild embedded thumbnail". Note that I havent tried this, so it might not work. I really don't know how the player gets the thumbnails

Originaly, there were few sample pictures. ALL of them contain EXIF. I transfered some pictures from my digital camera and it worked fine with thumbnail. However, once I deleted the exif info (I'm using a Nikon and the EXIF is really huge there] and transfered again.. No thumbnail anymore in the player. So it's not caused by the embedded thumbnail, but I believe by the EXIF

The thumbnail is contained in the EXIF data
