In django, template filter does not accept multiple arguments. So you can try like this:

@register.filter(name='thumbnail')
def thumbnail(file, args):
    _params = args.split(',')
    if len(_params) == 1:
      size = _params[0]
      folder_name = "default_folder"
    elif len(_params) == 2:
       size = _params[0]
       folder_name = _params[1]
    else:
       raise Error

    x, y = [int(x) for x in size.split('x')]

    ...

usage:

{{ contact_list.picture|thumbnail:'200x200,contacts'}}
