Yes, that is correct.  The new site only has PNG thumbnails  IF the  
author submitted them with the SVG.  And they only work as a  
thumbnail if they are the top of the stack.  Anyone who put the SVG  
up first, it doesn't work as thumbnail.

In the mean time I do recommend Frederick's Greasemonkey-script.   
It's been working great for me in Firefox.

All the archives are various package releases from the past.   
openclipart-clipart-2007-02-05.tar.gz    is the most up-to-date  
collection from the old site.  It contains PNG and svg files grouped  
by category.  I recently sorted them by author so we can begin  
uploading them to the new site.   They are available by author here:

We came to the conclusion that asking the original authors to submit  
them again was the best way to retain authorship of the files and  
spread some of the work around.  It was my understanding that no one  
could figure and automated way to transfer them all with the metadata.

  openclipart-incoming-2007-02-05.tar.gz  is the files that were  
submitted during the transition to the current website.  it is pretty  
raw, unsorted, cleaned up and doesn't have thumbnails.
