Magnus,
It's a great tool and this should save many disputes from occurring, but in
the case you point out about a file that is used on the Spanish Wikipedia
(which has disabled local uploads), then such files, if extracted to the
English Wikipedia, will only be linkable through an interwiki link to the
English Wikipedia and cannot be viewed as a thumbnail on the Spanish
Wikipedia.

So your tool will only work for the Wikipedia projects with local uploads
enabled, but still, it's definitely better than what we have now, which is
a mess.
