Given the number of WordPress installations out there with remote image
hosting, IMHO this is the largest issue with WP adoption of the timthumb script.
Automatic thumbnail generation is a powerful and, I believe needed extension to
WP. The issue for timthumb is that it appears befuddled by the extensions.
Picasa has a strange implementation to begin with, but Flickr is fairly
straightforward...
I notice that Woothemes has implemented an interesting logic to generate
thumbnails, even for remote servers, and without having to explicitly make the
photo the featured image; as a last resort, it finds and generates the
thumbnail from the first image in the post.
I found the php logic on the Internet but can no longer locate it, or I would
attach it here.
Great work fellows. You are adding immensely to the WP library.

This issue happens to be also related to the issue i posted @
http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/issues/detail?id=122
Providing a solution to issue 122 would provide a partial solution for this one
too.

TimThumb can already resize external images, as described here:

BinaryMoon - I understand that TimThumb can resize external images -- I even
said in the defect writeup that I had enabled it on my site. I was pointing out
specific problems with how it works, none of which are addressed in the link
you provided.
It's your code, so you're not obligated to fix this. I just wish that if you'd
decided not to, you'd say so outright -- instead of providing a glib response a
year later that doesn't address the concern.
