NX2 embedded thumbnails = Enfuse/GUI problems.

I use NX2 for RAW conversion because I like the results. I also use Enfuse, with the EnfuseGUI front end. On my old system (XP Pro 32 bit and previous appropriate versions of software) this has been reliable. Having just built a Win7 64 bit box and installed various current versions of everything, I'm encountering a nasty problem. Enfusing sets of NX2-converted tifs I'm getting tiny ghost thumbnail of the same image in the top l/h corner of the output files.
Ingemar Bergemark, the author of EnfuseGUI tells me that this is caused by the fact that the NX2 tifs are dual-layer, containing the thumbnail files. Opening these files into CS3 and resaving eliminates this problem, however it adds a tedious extra phase into what is already a long workflow and offsets the advantage of having built a fast box.
Does anyone have a suggestion how this might be addressed?

There has been a few questions about this in the past, one of which was raised by me.
It is not a problem, especially with PTGUI and it will not affect the overall image. Just go ahead and stitch . . . You will not see the problem!
But to be safe, it is always worth saving your panos as a psd blended and layered! (English . . . we are used to being prepared for the worst - of which the World Cup is a good example! Dad was a bomber pilot . . .)

Thanks Mathrafal.
Ingemar says that there's a fix in the pipeline for the Enfuse bug, ETA unknown. But you're right, PTGui blends out the offending pixels without complaining. I'd rather it didn't have to though.
