It renews the thumbs indeed... thanks for the help. for some reason though i still have one broken thumb at the bottom that did not go away. i cant open it directly either. but when i open the picture before that and slide to that one it opens nicely so i know the picture is not damaged and actually there... any headsup on this one?

by the way im running 1.2 so if any nokia people are reading this... and its a bug in 1.1.1 then ITS STILL IN THERE!

it took 6 minutes to index 536 pictures with thumbs.
