.thumbnail folder on SD Card?
I was in the Album application flipping through the 'Camera Shots' pictures and noticed some random pics that i had no idea how they got there? When exploring my SD card i noticed a folder under DCIM called '.thumbnails'...what is it? All of the pictures i've taken are saved under 100Media but i also found copies of them in the thumbnails folder...it even has copies of the pictures of all the different Touch Pro2 images used in the Android Startup Utility!

What is the purpose of this folder? how did the pictures get here? Is here a way to control which images get copied into it? I'd actually prefer none get copied, it really just wastes space....
