Sometimes people who have existing downloads do not initially generate images and thumbnails from 'pdf', 'jpg','png', and so on download files.  Or they may wish to remove them.  These features could be handled by either a Tool or by a Batch process. 

Because the process would need to be selective the simplest scheme might be a separate 'image' batch process as the existing move type batch process already asks for a category and other options.  One of the options would be to specify whether to add 'automatic' images where one is not present, or to remove auto generated image if one is present.  Another option might be to cascade down the category chain fixing Downloads appropriately.  Yet a further option could specify to create pics and thumbnails if the download file is a pdf (yes/No) with an accompanying yes/no option when the download is an image.

Finally in the front end edit form there could be a field to create an image which would only appear if download file was a pdf or an image type, and the relevant image was not  already present.
