No EXIF Thumbnail?

[BC15]

Just realised that the lack of EXIF thumbnail creation will also prevent me from using Affinity to convert the 8 bit tifs to jpegs for sending to agents, so will have to use DPP 4 or Photoshop to do this as well........fingers crossed that a fix is coming.

Pity there is not an agreed standard that all imaging companies could adopt to ensure that all the software available to us consumers is compatible. This would be good for everyone!

Are you sure about that? I am reasonably sure that every OS (Mac, Windows, iOS, etc.) can generate previews of jpegs on-the-fly very quickly & efficiently, so they should be viewable in Finder, Explorer, etc.

That may well be the case, but although the thumbnail is generated more quickly on the Affinity Jpeg than the Affinity Tif, it still takes more time to do this this when displaying a folder of images. This inevitably slows down the selection and viewing of the Jpegs when deciding which image goes to which agent. As  I regularly deal with hundreds if not thousands of images in this way, this delay does have an impact.
