if it would be possible to enable image scales like on the ATImage Content type.
the additional information could be stored in another directory no to interfere with the real data.

it would though need a tool where you could:

1. enable/disable the generation of image. regenerate image scales should be done on reindex of the folder and modify object if enabled in the tool.

2. option to only generate missing or outdated thumbnails.

3. enabling 1 + 2 would also give us the thumbnail view in plone

guys this product really rocks!!!!
thanx

One of Reflecto's goals is to be as simple as possible: it should only reflect filesystem contents into a Plone site and not do anything else.

Image scaling does not fit with that goal. If you want image scaling I suggest doing that on the filesystem instead. Using tools like the imagemagick or netpbm utilities this can be done in a very simple script.
