Automatic thumbnail creation?

Automatic thumbnail creation?
Situation:
I have a photo database running (http://aerospace.hispeed.com) which I am slowly adding photos to. Currently, I upload the full size image to /photo and then upload the thumbnail to /photo/thumbnails .

Problem:
Manually creating and posting stupid little thumbnails is a waste of time! I found a free program which will create thumbs for an entire dir (in windows) but I still have to find which thumbs are required and upload them.

I am looking for a module which does the following: when I add a photo using the 'add' feature in dbman the add-on script would take the original image in /photo and create a thumbnail of it in /photo/thumbnail automatically. ie: I don't have to run two scripts.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
