One of the great things about macros written with TiddlyWiki is that, if you used all core components, they will continue to be backward compatible no matter how much time has passed.
I just ran a test, and the 4 year old code still works. With this particular macro, what is going to matter most is the directory structure of your images. It's expecting that you will put a directory below your TW directory, and then a subdirectory "thumbs" below that. The default image directory was TW-Images, but you can supply a different image path. So you might explain a bit about your set-up, and the image names you're using.
