Thank you a lot Magnus, you just showed the real problem with Wikimedia
Commons: the software!

Magnus,
It's a great tool and this should save many disputes from occurring, but
in the case you point out about a file that is used on the Spanish
Wikipedia (which has disabled local uploads), then such files, if extracted
to the English Wikipedia, will only be linkable through an interwiki link
to the English Wikipedia and cannot be viewed as a thumbnail on the Spanish
Wikipedia.
So your tool will only work for the Wikipedia projects with local uploads
enabled, but still, it's definitely better than what we have now, which is
a mess.
Jane
