have a look at thumbnailforexcerpts

If it doesn’t work for you like expected (I modified the plugin a bit), drop me a comment on my page (i’m not checking back here regulary).

Hello justin, please check out the feed on my site gwegner.de – would this help you?

I currently don’t know why, but unfortunately the hack above is not generating Thumbnails for new images, although the method is being called. Sorry, I’m going to look into it a bit further if time.

I think this is a great idea and would serve to streamline everyones workflow who uploads via ftp (for example directly out of lightroom).

Thus I made a little hack to accomplish this. I hope, alex will incorporate it in one of the upcoming versions – surely in a neater way.

So here we go:

In media-upload.php find the function media_upload_nextgen_form

Near line 96 insert the code embraced by the comment-block:

// Get number of images in gallery
if ($_REQUEST['select_gal']){
    $galleryID = (int) $_REQUEST['select_gal'];

    // ---Hack by gwegner.de ----------------------
    // rescans the selected folder for new Images before showing it
    include_once (dirname (__FILE__) . '/functions.php');
    $gallerypath = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT path FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$galleryID'");
    nggAdmin::import_gallery($gallerypath);
    // --------------------------------------------	

    $total = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->nggpictures WHERE galleryid = '$galleryID'");
}

This one will rescan and refresh the gallery every time it is chosen in the WordPress mediauploader.

Have Fun!
