Scale ImageSource?

[Jim Ault]

Would this work?

delete image "currentThumb"
import your image
put the last image id into newId
set the name of image id newId to "currentThumb"
set the imageSource of char thisChar of field 1 to "currentThumb"

You could detect the if(same thumbnail condition) by storing it in a  
variable, then comparing this imagedata to the new thumb.
