Is it possible for an alternative to be implemented that allows F-Spot to manage the thumbnails separately if the user chooses that option? The reason I ask is because this will most likely be one of the areas I have to modify for the Windows Port anyway. So it would seem an ideal situation anyway to add abstraction and allow for a different process to be used. For instance, if I develop something to be used on Windows then that could possibly be used as an alternative to the Gnome thumbnail management.
