Hi folks

We have an image repository which has got a mixture of large tiffs and small 
jpegs as file types. Some time ago, we applied the relevant updates to allow us 
to create preview thumbnails regardless of type.

There is also an issue around security in this repository, wherein the tiffs 
are not supposed to be accessible without a login. This has resulted in a 
complicated workflow with some human intervention.

We have agreed a better solution, unsurprisingly, would be to keep the preview 
thumbnail, and also have a larger derivative of the same image for viewing at a 
larger size, but not letting them get to the original. I would like to do this 
through media-filter, but I appreciate that


 1.  if a thumbnail has already been created the bitstream will be skipped
 2.  if we put the force parameter onto it, the new derivative will be created, 
but the old one will be overwritten

Is there any way to allow us to get the new one and keep the old? The 
alternative is digging into the assetstore while maintaining a reference to the 
handle, generating in an external application, and then updating the metadata, 
which is a bit complicated!

Cheers
Scott
