try this firstly on one thumbnail in smart thumbs (remember to HANDCROP it if you prescanned the images)

post the results here. Im out for some meds, will report back in like 90 minutes.
Modified the Imagemagick command line (from within the group settings - advanced) within SmartThumbs, then imported using the "Scan One File" option. I manually cropped a thumb from the prescanned images, and the resulting thumb DOES have the 1px black border around it. Copied image location and viewed it standalone in a browser just to verify, as SmartThumbs does seem to use black table cell borders quite a bit. Just wanted to make sure the thumb itself had the border, and not the table.

Ok, so now this brings up a couple of things.

1. Is this even really the correct way to handle thumbs with borders?
2. I have a ST database with several thousand galleries, although the site isn't live yet. Ideally I would like all thumbs to have borders... is there any "simple" way to have SmartThumbs re-thumbnail all my existing thumbs so that borders are added?

I suppose I could SSH into the server, and run the Imagemagick command at the top level of /st/thumbs and have it recursively go through each subdirectory. This way it would add borders to all existing images, and filenames would still be intact. Of course I would create a copy of the entire /thumbs directory first. Then with the modified Imagemagick command in place, any new galleries that I add would have the 1px border automatically.

Thoughts?
