 Good,

 I can implement the second half, but I wanted more opinions on how it
 should work. I dont think it is a good idea to make it regenerate all
 images automatically on every change, because it is too heavy. Here are
 the approaches I am considering:

 1. Have a button "Regenerate images" where the user clicks whenever he
 wants to regenerate all images thumbs

 2. Whenever you change the values of a size, a box appears at the top of
 the screen informing that the changes do not apply to old images, but if
 (s)he wants to regenerate, 'click here'

 In both cases I am thinking to do this trhough ajax so user have a
 constant feedback on each file beeing processed and is able to cancel the
 routine.

 Opinions?

 Leo,,
