Dear Umbraco Folk,

I am using the following code to to create a Umbraco Media Item of type "Image":

var ms = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;

.//  Create the "empty" Image definition as an umbraco Media node
var newImage = ms.CreateMedia(imageFileName, tTImagesFolderID, "Image");
.ms.Save(newImage);
.imageID = newImage.Id;   // Capture the Image ID

//  Now convert relative web path to physical path to on disk file
string physicalImagePath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(imageSourcePathPrimaryString);
// Now open a "FileStream" to that file on the physical hard disk
System.IO.FileStream imageFileStream = new System.IO.FileStream(physicalImagePath, FileMode.Open);
string physicalImageFileName = imageFileStream.Name;

// Now use SetValue to populate the previosuly "empty" Image definition / umbraco Media node with the real file and it's associated properties
newImage.SetValue("umbracoFile", imageFileName, imageFileStream);
ms.Save(newImage);  // Must save !!
imageFileStream.Close();  // Tidy up

This creates a Media Item with the ID "imageID" providing access to the primary image "box_product.jpg"

It also creates Thumbnails along with the original image a "numbered" folder in the /Media/ folder. That folder contains three images like the following:

box_product.jpg
box_product_big-thumb.jpg
box_product_thumb.jpg

What is the best way to create an Umbraco Media Item to access boxproductthumb.jpg (preferably using the existing Thumbnail rather than creating a new "numbered" folder in the /Media/ folder).?

Note that I need to access the thumnail via a Umbraco Media Item because I am using uCommerce and the uCommerce "Product" Class has the following properties:

product.PrimaryImageMediaId;
product.ThumbnailImageMediaId

I need to pupulate these with Media Item IDs.

Thanks
