Thank you for your report.

I see a couple of issues with this request.

First and for most, KIO is not the place that decides where thumbnails are
stored. That is in the application's hands. So for that one alone i'd recommend
you to try and ask the apps that actually make the thumbnails (dolphin,
gwenview, ...)

Second, that spec is kinda enforcing when it comes to thumbnail image format.
It enforces png. Png is a fine image codec, but better (which are faster and
smaller) are popping up. Webp is such a codec along with the in house kde
developed codec: "ez".

Third, kde has it's own image caching mechanism for thumbnails that most other
kde apps are using as well. That is the "KImageCache" class if i'm not
mistaken. So you don't need to worry much about double thumbnails.

Good luck!
Closing this one since it's not up to kio where the thumbnails go.
