The reasons why we use a dedicated DB for thumbnails are :

- size of thumbs divided by 2~3 due to use wavelets compression (instead LZW
through PNG)
- The way to thumbnalize un-moutable media as DVD/CD/USB key. You can search
items through unavailable media and show thumbs of items use DB. It's not
possible to do with .thumbnails specification from free-desktop paper.

Anyway, you can turn off thumbs DB and use .thumbnails instead. Look Cmake
compilation option as i explain previously.
