in thread thumbnails generator

Actually, it is indeed accomplished very easily. The fact that it's so complicated in your script is a demonstration that you're coercing a square peg into a round hole. 

size=`/usr/bin/identify "$image"|/usr/bin/cut -d' ' -f 3`
/usr/bin/convert -geometry "$size" "$old_name" "$new_name"

    Of course given a better shell you can do even more inline: 

    size=${=${$(identify "$image")}[3]}
