hey, i have seen that the gd thing creates normal_picname.jpg, and thumb_picname.jpg or whatever.

How would i make the gd create the intermediate and thumnails, with different file names on the beginning? How would i modify it to not say normal, but something else, so that people wouldn't be able to guess? Like i would want to change it to a bunch of numbers...please help!
