[TYPO3-english] hook in thumbnail generation? [WAS: questions about FAL]

We have not looked deep into it, but there are no standard easy ways to
do that.

It might be possible by overriding
> TypoScriptFrontendController->cObj->getImgResource()
that is used to scale images in most (all?) cases.

If you implement that, please tell me :)
We wrote a storage driver for FAL that accesses an image server, but
currently only use the original files, letting TYPO3 scale the images
as needed - although the image server actually already has thumbnails.
