Any ideas anyone ?

Solved !

A. Using WINSCP, create a .MISC folder inside /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/

B. Move all .THM files from /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ to the new /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/.MISC folder

C. Set user permissions on folder /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM to 755, while selecting the option "Set group, owner and permissions recursively" (so the permissions will be set for all folders under DCIM)

D. Party on like it's 1999.

This was what I did
pretty simple but it seems to be working

A. Using WINSCP, create a .MISC folder inside /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/

B. Move all .THM files from /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ to the new /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/.MISC folder

C. Rename all the extensions .THM to .BTH (always back up the originals, just in case something goes wrong)

D. Move all .BTH files to the new /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/.MISC folder (you going to have both .THM and .BTH in the same folder)

E. Move all .jpg files from /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ to the new /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/

F. If some pictures doesn't show up try counting them and then open the file Info.plist located in the new /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/.MISC

The file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>LastFileGroupNumber-100</key>

<integer>5</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

and then change the number in between the integer (in this case 5) for the number of your photos plus one (if you going to put 5 pics then change it to 6, if you going to do 10 pics then change it to 11 etc.) always is batter to have that number a little higher than the number of your pics because if is less some pics doesn't show up

this has been working for me, I hope works for all of you

I must have spent 2x 8 hour nights on this. It was not quite the solutions found at
- Apple Forums & iPhone Forums, Mods, Hacks, News, Themes, Downloads, and more! | ModMyi.com
- http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-ipod...humbnails.html

It ended up being that the following dir hierarchy and files are needed:

- /DCIM
  - /.MISC
    - Info.plist
  - /100APPLE
    - /.MISC
      - .BTH and .THM thumbnail files for each photo
    - .JPG files

Just as important, and not spelt out anywher:
ALL FILES AND FOLDERS NEED TO BE OWNED BY 'mobile' USER

Ex:

Nicks-iPhone:~/Media/DCIM mobile$ ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  4 mobile mobile  136 Aug 27 02:35 ./
drwxr-xr-x 11 mobile mobile  476 Oct 30 18:40 ../
drwxr-xr-x  2 mobile mobile  170 Nov 12 00:36 .MISC/
drwxr-xr-x  3 mobile mobile 6018 Nov 12 00:41 100APPLE/

Nicks-iPhone:~/Media/DCIM/100APPLE mobile$ ls -la
total 77892
drwxr-xr-x 3 mobile mobile    6018 Nov 12 00:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 mobile mobile     136 Aug 27 02:35 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 mobile mobile   11900 Nov 12 00:41 .MISC/
-rw-r--r-- 1 mobile mobile   72622 Mar 13  2009 IMG_0001.JPG
-rw-r--r-- 1 mobile mobile 2400229 Mar 15  2009 IMG_0002.JPG
-rw-r--r-- 1 mobile mobile  119552 Mar 19  2009 IMG_0003.JPG

Use chown as root user, to fix if they are wrong:

chown -v mobile 100APPLE/
chown -v mobile *

Also, you have to verify that the Info.plist file has the correct # in the XML. If your jpg files goes up to IMG_0103.JPG, you need to reflect this as so in that file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>LastFileGroupNumber-100</key>
        <integer>103</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

The jpg files that had the root ownerships, were during a certain date range. I think it coincided with my use of the jailbroke-only picture program "Snapture". Maybe the combo of snapture and 3.0 upgrade does it?


Some Erroneous advice from prior posts

Seriously great work on here guys. Couldnt have done without u. Some things I noticed that were wrong:

Not the best way to do this. See below listing of my solutions.
644 are the normal permissions that seem to be (read write for owner, read for group, read for everyone).

Wrong permissions are 755 (read write execute for owner, read execute for group, read execute for everyone), which opens up security holes. Something can now write and run a virus executable to those directories. Though doubtful, its not safe.
Be careful of security settings you dont know what they mean.

WRONG, please see listing of solutions below. You do not count the number of files. You use the last file name-number.
