I think you misunderstand what I meant; I wasn't talking about making
the thumbnails, I was talking about the scaled (to fit window) image
used when browsing images in the thumbnail buffer. Here is a recipe:

 $ emacs -Q

Then (output from view-lossage):

M-x i m a g e SPC d i r e d <return> g f x <tab> p i c s <return> SPC
SPC SPC ...

Each time you do SPC or DEL in the thumbnail buffer a scaled version
of the original image is created and displayed.

Just so we talk about the same thing.
