"mini-size" extra thumbnails

I would be great if an extra, smaller thumbnail could be created when you upload images. It would look great in either blocks for recent products, or in a more compact version of the built-in recent products display.

For example 50x50px - or even a setting for that "mini-size".

EDIT: Actually the shopping-cart could also benefit from such a smaller image, especially if the normal thumbnail is 200x200 or bigger.

In the upcoming template I am working on for the new store at tp.net, I use them in the store-front shopping-cart page - and in a sidebar listing, which copy the mainblocks routine. I also used them in search results, for a more narrow row of results there.

I only added this little bit of code after the thumbnail createThumbnail code:

Code:

// Create mini-thumbnail!
createThumbnail($modSettings['store_path'] . $filename, 80, 80);
rename($modSettings['store_path'] . $filename . '_thumb', $modSettings['store_path'] . 'minithumb_' . $filename);

..so it will just use the thumbnail name, but tag "mini" in front of it.
