Remarks

For Example: If the image being thumbnailed is "House.tif", and the prefix pattern is "Annot_" and the suffix pattern is ".external", and the IncludeFileExtension flag is true then it would look for an external annotation file named: "Annot_House.tif.external" If the image being thumbnailed is "Test.jpg", and the prefix pattern is "" and the suffix pattern is ".annot", and the IncludeFileExtension flag is false then it would look for an external annotation file named: "Test.annot"
