I dont know anything about the plugin, but resizing can be simply done
with imagemagick.
F.I. put these lines in a bash script and execute it:
for file in `ls *.jpg`
do
	convert -scale 140x140 $file klein/$file
done

Thats it, it resizes every jpg file in the folder you startet
it to  140x140 and copies it to the "klein" directory.

You could put some things around it, like writing
a simple html page into a file.
Just as an idea what imagemagick and bash can
do for you.
