Could you clarify please.  If I do not include --thumb in my preferences do I still get the 
embedded thumbnail?  I perhaps misunderstood and thought I would get no thumbnail if I 
didn't have the --thump preference set.   I ask because I don't really need the separate 
image if the embedded one is there (and works!).

On the second point my problem may be an artifact of the fact that files are on remote NAS 
and VLC  cache might not be clearing.  Will revert to this issue only when everything is 
working.  Meanwhile tagging is main issue even without thumbnail problem.   I will work 
harder!
