How hard would it be to have it do the thumb-ification in the background, so that it wouldn't really matter if there were many image files (the user would see them being added, and could use those that were available)? This is the way many image browsing programs work, and it's a very nice way of dealing with the delay of thumb-conversion. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
