The other way round was needed. If the "destination" is remote, cache 
should be stored locally. It's no problem to index/analyse remote files, 
but it's a problem to store the result also remotely.
Btw, you do already have the possibility to decide if remote files are 
thumbnailed. It's configurable via standard UI in Thunar.
