Note that the current plan is to use the details from the Oxygen
filetypes. This shouldn't stop us from developing our own later but I
don't wanna get hung up on it now when we should just get the base files

Locally one will always get the thumbnails but on network connections I
think the default turns 'em off. But there's also alot of image types
that aren't thumbnailed.
