Imagemagick does a billion things. I can do 90% of them fairly easily in my program. My plan is to put in the thumbing features that most will use, to keep it as simple as possible, then build an interface from witango.
The interface is already running, but I am still tuning it. You will pass XML to the thumb app with parameters. The parameters will be an array of image file names, or a folder name for the source, a destination folder name, and the other options you see in the thumbjob prefs, and lastly a completion taf url.
The app will que the job, and then start working on each image one by one til it is done. It will do this in a thread, so that it can listen in the background and not miss any requests. When it is done, it will fire the completion URL for you to let you know it has completed, passing back xml of its results.
Think of it like it works now, you drag and drop images on the app. But instead you will pass an array of image locations with the prefs for the job.
I have it already all working, I am just converting to using XML instead of an older method of http I was using. I have found it the easiest way to pass arrays in and out of witango.

I looked at ImageMagick but the command line interface was too gruesome for this non-programmer to contemplate
Robert Garcia's ThumbJob is a good answer for those who, like me, have a limited tolerance for hard (programming) work...
