Why two identical thumbnails.

I am testing gallery/publisher and have found that exports always generate two folders
thumbnails, and
thumbnails-for-mobile
and the files in each folder are identical to each other using a byte for byte comparison.  Is this correct behavior?

I know that the engine has link references to thumbnails in both folders but do not have a clue why two separate duplicated folders would be necessary.  Some ISP's do have a # of files limit and the duplication does not help in that respect.

It's correct. Depending on your setup, the thumbnails may vary, or not. Unfortunately, we have no way to preventing Lightroom creating the second rendition, even when they are the same and therefore redundant.

OK, so I will just re-arrange the links appropriately and delete one set.

If you're using CE4 Publisher to manage your galleries, then the extra rendition will only be created when it's needed, meaning you don't need to mess with it.
