Our live production environment is read-only, so we have to generate all the thumbnails etc in our development and building environments.

That means either viewing each image node after importing it, or using the Content screen to "select all" and then "Rebuild derived images". "Select All" only covers one page at a time, so there's potentially a lot of clicking involved.

The attached patch allows the thumbnails to be generated at import time instead of waiting until someone tries to view it.

I've also attached a patch against HEAD, and tried to name it more in line with the Contributing Code guidelines.

Won't derivative regeneration be taken care of when the images are subsequently viewed by users?
