 * I am currently creating an import plugin that imports around 40,000 images, creates
   14,000 galleries, and assigns them to post already published. Its all part of
   a much larger CMS conversion project for a client.
 * So far my plugin can create a NextGEN gallery, create a directory structure for
   the images, and import the images. However, **I am having a hard time creating
   the thumbnails**. I tried calling some of the classes in the plugin but that 
   didn’t work. I also tried sending a POST command via cURL to the plugin to activate
   the “Scan Folder For Images” option, but the plugins use of nonce blocked that.
   Are there any tricks, plugins, or functions that I can utilize to build these
   thumbnails?
 * Thank you for the plugin and your time.
