Currently I have to think of a few programs for college on what to create inside VB.Net, and I was thinking of creating a basic image scaler.  I was wondering if any mod's would be interested in me to create this?

It would be as simple as browsing your directory / browsing for a file and clicking convert.  It would duplicate the original picture and create a thumbnail for the duplicated picture.

Even though it sounds a little stupid on asking if any admins would actually like this to become created as I am sure you all already use something along these lines, it could be beneficial to at least one mod possibly.

I only ask this because I just converted 20 pictures into thumbnails earlier today and it took.... forever....

I'm going to create this for myself and my family regardless, was only wondering if anyone else would like this program.  Again it would work on .Net, so Windows (not Mac or Linux)

You need to go download the following 2 utilities:

Ant Renamer - Simple bulk/batch image renaming utility
FastStone Image Viewer - Has renaming capabilities, but can be used to batch resize/thumbnail images. Very useful.
