How to rebuild all thumbnails in VirtueMart at once

As you possibly already know, it is not enough to set Dynamic Thumbnail Resizing in VirtueMart Admin Panel to ON. You also have to make several steps, to redo all thumbnails for your VirtueMart products:

1. Go to Joomla Administrator Panel
2. Go to VirtueMart Configuration
3. Check the box: Enable Dynamic Thumbnail Resizing.
4. Set your: Thumbnail Image Width and Height
5. Delete images in resized folder.
6. Run next query in DB:

   update jos_vm_product set product_thumb_image = product_full_image

Worked like a charm with gd library working (Dynamic Thumbnail Resizing). When setting the thumb image to full image, this will clear out all the old thumbs originally created when adding a new product. Clearing out the resized folder will delete all GD (dynamically) created thumbs. Now when gd goes to make new thumbs in resized, it will us the thumbnail set in product_thumb_image, which via sql you have set to be the full image. So it will create nice, clear, resized images!

Ofcourse your server has to have GD+ library installed and working. Most servers have it.
