Upon using ExifRead (https://pypi.org/project/ExifRead/) to processes exif metadata from an image and using that to extract the Jpeg Thumbnail, we came to know that the extract_thumb method, instead of extracting the Jpeg Thumbnail, will extract the Jpeg Preview of a RAW image. Is this a desired behavior and if so, is there a way to extract the actual Jpeg Thumbnail from the image?

Also, in case the Jpeg Preview is missing, will Libraw report and error or extract the Jpeg Thumbnail instead?

Thanks!
