What graphics program are you using ?? Photoshop has some automated functions that will resize images to whatever size you want.

Ok. So!

How, at a cost of $700+ does photoshop qualify as a "freeware batch thumbnail generator" ???

Really.
In Photoshop, if you go to File, Automate, you will see several things it can do. You could easily use the Contact Sheet option to have it create the thumbnails for you

I have a script set up to get PS to take a folder of images, make presized thumbnails, save them and name them all with a prefix of "tn_"

give it a folder of a few hundred images and then I can go make a brew.
