Bash script for extracting exif thumbnail from jpegs.
I’ve heard only some weeks ago about extracting original thumbnail (created by digital camera) from a jpeg picture.
It’s easy to realize that in a thumbnail you can find particulars that are being removed from the published version of the picture; you can find some examples of what i’m trying to say here and here.
I’ve made a simple bash script that uses the exif binary, the script has three parameters:
exif_thumb_extractor.sh [-r] <pictures_dir> <target_dir>
* -r option it’s for new recursive mode!
Enjoy it and download

please, don’t use zip to collect your files. Use tar.bz2 or tar.gz…

Yeah, probably you’re right, i’ve used zip format until now for compressing single files don’t knowing if windows users can easily manage bz2
