I have an old backup of my Hardy Heron setup, of some years ago. I am
looking for one particular image, and I have found its thumbnail in a
folder:
xxx/Hardy_heron-backup/home/david/thumbnails/normal/*.png
How do I locate the full-size image? What is it called?
Any help most welcome. I can find lots of ways to create thumbnails,
but not to work with those already created.

I'd guess the full-size image will have the same (or at least similar)
name as the thumbnail but be in a different directory.
So, if the thumbnail is img123456.jpg then do a find something like:-
find xxx/Hardy_heron-backup/home/david -name '*123456*'
Put the real directory names in of course and tune the '*123456*' as required.

You can't create the original picture from a thumbnail.
You can use find to locate all pictures on that folder.
This is the only way I know how to find it. I don't know a way to
guess the file name from them thumbnail, but that doesn't mean, that
such a way doesn't exist.

I know, that's why I'm trying to find the full-size image.

And that matches Chris Green's advice, so it must be the way to go.
Thanks.

One thing to try is locate. If you haven't got it installed grab it
off your distro, then as root:
updatedb
Once done as a normal user you can just enter:
locate {some partial name} and it will list all occurrences across
your entire system.
