Pipeline now generates thumbnails

The data reduction pipeline now automatically generates PNG thumbnails of rimg and rsp files. These thumbnails are generated in three different sizes, 64x64, 256x256, and 1024x1024. Exif information is also written to these thumbnails, embedding the RA, Dec, source name, orientation, and pixel scale. Only the astro: namespace is currently used (see this ROE page for more information).

Here's a (rather boring) example from last night:



In the near future they will be sent to CADC for automatic ingest.
