Hi Bob,

If you correlate images with a GPX track there is a checkbox in the 
correlation form to show thumbnails on the map.  I guess this is how you 
got the thumbnails in earlier times.  Now there is that additional 
thumbnail toggle option in the image layer menu.  I checked that 
functionality and found an image where it does not work, see ticket 
11867 (https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/11867).  Do you have a way 
to check if your images have the EXIF orientation field set, e.g. with 
exiftool (look for Orientation)?  Or add one of your images to the ticket.

If the camera icon has the transparent red layer on top then it is 
selected.  The same applies to the thumbnails.
