I think Richard's point is that we should only follow a standard that does
what we want. If the Thumbnail Managing Standard doesn't deal with
transparency, then it seems unsuitable (the toolbar icons in the images
directory have transparency, for example).

~/.emacs-thumbs is redundant now. An individual user will probably just
use one primarily, so although not desirable, it may not be critical.

I mean unifying the thumbnail directories not thumbs.el and tumme.el.

We've covered this before: thumbs is simpler and best suited for basic tasks,
tumme for more complex ones.

I think they should be seen as complementary, not competing.

I don't think you'll get much feedback until Emacs is released. tumme is a
specialist package and those on emacs-devel generally don't have that
specialism.
