I think that is fine.

But an idea would be to use some ImageMagick tool or other to crop out the
80x80 section from middle of every PNG.

Maybe like:

convert -crop 80x80+1+1
(but I don't know how to get it from the center.)

Can inkscape do this when converting instead?

By the way, the thumbnails take up about 13MB of space. Can they be
compressed or made lower quality too?
