The huge benefit of creating the thumbnails on the fly is that they can
be scaled to an arbitrary size. It is easy to show larger thumbnails in
800x600 or 1024x768.  Of course it might still be possible to ship a
320x208 image for the levels that require a custom thumbnail and scale
that to the appropriate size.

Yes, and unless someone is able to demonstrate an absolute need for such
a command, I would not want to clutter Enigma with a command that no
more than two levels make use of.
