Re: imagemagic in image-mode and image-dired-thumbnail-mode?

Indeed, this is my plan right now. I will keep track of the transforms and stack them in the final call to convert. This way temp files could be avoided with no quality loss, as the transforms are always applied to the original file.

Maybe the API should be made in two parts: one part to build a transform
and then another to apply it to an image, this way you can do "several
transforms in sequence" with a single call to "convert".
