Alpha channel would be nice, and a you propose putting the eet in the
directory of the images? That would on one hand make the thumbnails
portabel, on the other its pretty annoying to have cached information
all over the place, you'd need a extra cleaning program to remove the
thumnails.
And you need some fallback if you can't write to the directory. Also
don't the eet file needs to get rewritten whenever you append a
thumbnail?
