Using the thumbnailer from the SDK is a relatively painless process as
far as the photo view and events view are concerned (a branch
implementing this is linked to this bug).

However the album view makes use of a special thumbnail size (360) which
is bigger than the large thumbnail size that the SDK thumbnailer can
generate (256).

Scaling up the thumbnails isn't an option due to very noticeable loss of
quality.

The only possibly solutions seem to be either altering the UI to use the 
smaller thumbnail size, or altering the SDK thumbnailer to be able to generate 
this new larger size. 
The first option requires design input, the second option will make the SDK 
thumbnailer non-confroming with respect to the Freedesktop thumbnailing 
standard, which it has been following up until now.
